    I have a laser point 2 plotter and just now getting started cutting sister stretch, the problem is when the plotter is cutting the design every once in awhile the vinyl bunches up, therefore screwing up the design also what is the best blade to be using when cutting heat transfer vinyl.

    thanks for any suggestions.

    I am new to the printer for sublimation thing, my budget at this time is pretty tight, I was looking on E-bay and saw a Epson stylus C88 plus printer w/ 200 ML DS sublimation ink,, is this worth buying or should zi wait until I have enough money to buy the 7610.

    thanks for any replies

    On a mug press get one that you put the mug in on it's side. This gives you the option of doing water bottles and stuff without having to put your image at the bottom of the water bottle only. You can slide it in to where you want it.

    That Makes a lot of sense!!!! thanks!!!!

    No, it is not.  Ricoh/Sawgrass ink is very expensive.  That's why I, and many other cheapskates like myself use Epson printers with Cobra Ink sublimation ink.  You can pick up a 13x19" Epson printer (which is also an 11x17" scanner) *and* a Cobra Ink CISS kit *and* a fill up of Cobra Ink sublimation ink usually for less than the cost of a Ricoh and the first set of ink cartridges.

     

    An Epson 7510 with shipping and handling will cost you $149.00 and a CISS kit with 4 oz. of each color ink will run you $219.95, or about $369.

    One set of cartridges for the Ricoh will cost you about $325 and another $325 when you need to replace them.  A 16 oz. refill kit (4 oz. of each color) from Cobra Ink is $79.99, as I recall and has about 4x as much ink as a set of Ricoh cartridges.

    An Epson printer requires a lot more fiddling than a Ricoh, so if you want a printer that  you can plug in and forget about until you need it, go with the Ricoh.  If you're willing to take the time to print regular test pages and perform the occasional cleaning cycle, you can save a ton of money with an Epson/Cobra Ink system...  Money you can spend on your new sublimation addiction...

    Thanks OW i will check that out as I am just getting started at looking before purchase, thanks for the advice!!!

    As in legitimate DOT regulated street signs on behalf of a government body (city, county, state, etc.), or decorative street signs?   If decorative, indoor or outdoor?

    They will just be for decorative and will be used both for outdoor/indoor use
