    A4 Epson for working from home

    Although we have the big Epson wide formats on premises, I am thinking through being able to move some of the business back into our house for smaller personalised products. So, looking for recommendations for an A4 or A3 eco tank that we can get for a low price - don't need a bundle including ink, as we have litres of InkTec already on the shelf for the big printers. Equally we do our own ICC profiling, so don't need a company who provides one. So, suppose it doesn't need to be from a sublimation supplier - just a good A4 model at a good price.

    Epson L805 is the newer version of the old P50 6 colour. We recently bought one and it seems excellent. We have to get a custom profile but print is good, faster than our 1500.

    Epson et 2650 is a good budget machine. We have a couple of these, haven't been switched on for some time so tested the other day and nozzles are perfect, great match with the Intec SubliNova inks.

    Yes, Inktec is good ink for not clogging after non-use

    I grabbed one of these the other week.

    Does what it says on the tin. Not the fastest, nor the best quality, but reliable and steady and for most things it will be more than adequate and any drop in colour will not be noticeable to most customers.

    Hopefully with us doing our own ICC profiles we'll be OK - but it's years (2011) since I've only used a 4 colour printer (or a non large format machine) so it's gonna be something to get used to!
    Will happily share ICCs

    Printer arrived, and as an ex-demo unit is quite full of ink - any suggestions from Eco tank owners as to the size of syringe I may need to be able to suck it all out to put the sublimation ink in???

    Epson eco tank ink bottles are 70ml, if that helps.

    Was more thinking the thickness of needle to go on the syringe to get into the tanks - something seems to be blocking the ones I have, but then thought there's probably filters to stop crap getting in. Then realised that the printer had its two year free ink card with it, so now deciding to use this as a normal printer, and get a new empty one to use for sublimation, as sucking the ink out doesn't look an easy job.
