LEISUREBEACH 0 Posted June 18, 2010 I've been looking at this, how much is the ink cost.Right now I use kodak and I must say it works great, just limited to the print size.Just not sure if the extra cost is worth it.What do u guys think Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LEISUREBEACH 0 Posted June 21, 2010 Mr300 the link you posted, do you have to have a bulk system or can you refill the cartridges that it comes with.Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest sciondrgn Posted June 21, 2010 Mr300 the link you posted, do you have to have a bulk system or can you refill the cartridges that it comes with.Thanks You do not have to buy the printer from him but can purchase refillable carts to use with the Stock 1100 if that is what you prefer. I have 2 myself, I am going to convert my stock 1100 over to a high temp ink with the refillable carts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cjmorey 0 Posted June 22, 2010 So tell me I am new to this Workforce 1100, how do you convert it to a high temp printer and what are the benefits of doing that. Please I want to learn more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted June 22, 2010 The high temp in is for sublimation - I am going to try it tomorrow with samples from cobra! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can either send your 1100 to richard and pay him to convert it and install a CIS into it, Or you can buy the refillable carts and bulk ink and do it that way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NukleoN 34 Posted June 22, 2010 I have a lowly Canon Workforce 30, but I got it for the Durabrite ink and extra black tank. What made you get the WF 1100? Does it have Durabrite ink as well? From what I understand Durabrite is good for T-Shirt transfer vinyl isn't it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When i went to the link I understood it to say the printer was already converted and ready to go.And the ink for 100ml was 10.95 is this correct.Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
orbitgrfx 0 Posted June 22, 2010 Concerning the ink transfer in the 1100.....Does the printer drink inks the way some of Epson's smaller muti-funtion printers do? If I get one (I'm leaning heavily toward the 1100) I'll be using it for brochures, advertising samples, price guides, ect., as well as printing decals on vinyl. The CIS system will come later after some revenue kicks in. Thanks for the feedback. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mr300s 1,272 Posted June 23, 2010 I agree with J but I think you need the CISS system to see that, but I never had one without , but I have heard you get like eight times the amount of ink compared to the stock system and the refill bottles are way cheaper I think I paid like $45.00 for five large bottles of ink and all I do is squeeze them into the tank mounted on the side no syringe or any hassles. You may want to hold off until you can afford Cobra 1100 with the CISS. I think you cant go wrong with that. Based on what I have read you will still like it stock but you will love it with the CISS system. When it arrives it is already all full of the inks and all you do is plug it in and start printing. In any case Good luck with it..... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can A) Purchase the printer with the CIS Already Installed If you already have an 1100, you can mail it to richard and he will convert/install the CIS for you C) Purchase the refillable carts to use in a pre-existing 1100 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NukleoN 34 Posted June 23, 2010 That rocks. I might upgrade to the WF1100 later. It seems the 1100 just gives you the ability to print on bigger paper, eh? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
