Hi Guys,

Im after a little advice as to wide format or not to wide format! Have been screen printing for a few years now but would love
to learn about sublimation as I have a lot of customers that could potentially benefit if I offered it. Im not sure to go with a
standard Ricoh A3 desktop, a used Wide Format or a brand new wide format. Budget is not huge, prob around £1000 - £ 1,500.
Wide format is what I will need but not sure wether I should just go A3 to learn the ins and outs of sublimation..

You need to determine exactly what you are going to be printing, how many you will realistically be printing and also how often.

Without that sort of info it would be difficult to tell you the best route (Pisquee's advert is a bargain though ;-))

It is a good price I agree, but just dont know what to commit to. I would struggle to put a number on the amount of print/runs but I know that if I went A3 I would more than likely regret the size limitation, I just dont want to sink before I swim.....
