Warning. Newbie. Starting from scratch so I have many queries that I'm posting on other threads so will try to keep this to printers. I have a Brother MFC-J6510DW that I will use for transfers onto black or cotton T's. (not everyone can wear polyester) I've looked into pigment inks but this printer can only use black pigment ink so i will run tests with standard ink as I've been told by many that they can work (transfers only).
Regardless. Sublimation will give a better feel/finish and I also wish to work on tiles. I have looked primly at the Sawgrass SG400 and SG800. (As on a deal with a galaxy heat press from Subliblanks)
First question as the price difference is considerable, do you need the larger print area? I'm not sure the A4 will be enough on a large T? Is it worth investing now in the larger model?
Secondly. Although the prints look amazing from the sawgrass that I've seen is it really that much better then an Epson or brother etc?
Thirdly. I can't find a CISS for the sawgrass. Do you need a CISS? A lot of people seem to find them more trouble then they are worth?
Lastly.(for now!) The sawgrass comes with a design package. Is it any good? Should I factor that into my decision?
Basically if you print T's and were starting with all your knowledge what would you go for?
Sorry if this is a repeat of questions. I have tried to search through the forum but didn't get all I wanted. Thank you for your time and many thanx in advance to any input you can give.
Best wishes Claire.
