Well. that's not entirely true - they use gel inks and I think they have larger diam jets/nozzles which helps with clogging issues.There is nothing miraculous about Ricoh's printers in terms of not being susceptible to clogging

Which is only about £25 - hardly breaking the bank, or a huge set up cost.
- Ricoh only get round this problem by the printer running print head clean cycles whilst the printer is on/on standby. So, you're using your expensive ink whether you are printing or not. With Epson printers you do have to look after them yourself in this respect.There is nothing miraculous about Ricoh's printers in terms of not being susceptible to clogging
Buy too cheap, and buy twice definitely, but there is a good middle ground, where you get to choose which printers fits your actual needs, rather than the few available as supported, and you can choose which ink you want to use, in terms of cost and quality.
We went cheap, and bought second hand large format printers on Ebay, for less than you spend on a Sawgrass warrantied A4 printer. This gave us very good proper professional level printers, along with the option of using commercial level professional inks, and never looked back on the days of struggle with a supposed 'official' Epson 1400 with Sawgrass inks, which was temperamental at best. We now have printers we can rely on for our business.
Try telling that to those who have had to throw their Epson away because of head clogging.......in comparison, when reading forums comparing the reliability of Ricoh over Epson it is a clear cut win for Ricoh.

Apologies Paul...I didn't intend to get into the Ricoh/Epson debate again. My reply to the OP was merely trying to point out the pro/con of each. As he is obviously just starting out and by the looks of it needing all the help he can get I thought it might be of help.
i think this lisnk willl explain best what printer options Op has :)
