koletsb 9 Posted April 13, 2012 I am getting into the printing side, starting small and after a lot of research, I have seen a lot of people talking about the Workforce 1100. I have been trying to find it around but they seem to be disappearing so I was wondering if anyone knew someone selling a used one or what are some printers comparable to it it get started?

vrpro 19 Posted April 13, 2012 You may want to look into the Epson Stylus Photo 1400. You can find a refurb under $200.00 many times at the epson store. http://www.epson.com...es&oid=63072161 . Add a CIS for another $49.00 and you have a great large format printer that is photo quality. If you need more info let me know Ill try to help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hummer 21 Posted April 18, 2012 :-\ Hello from Canada. As you are probably aware, I cannot locate a WF1100 anywhere in Canada. I have found an Epson 7010 for $149.00 here in Canada. Is this printer good for decals and sublimation and such? Any idea where I would purchase the appropriate ink for this in Canada? If I was to use this for decals, is it a different ink than if I wanted to sublimate? I really have searched this forum, but I am still confused. Sorry to be a headache, but my birthday is coming up and family are asking what I would like. Any information regarding the above would be greatly appreciated.

vinylmotivations 143 Posted May 12, 2012 There is someone in my area that has an epson 1100 for sale with High Temp sublimation inks.... their asking 250$!!!? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
markvvq 14 Posted May 12, 2012 I received my 2nd epson 7010 yesterday. 1 has pigment ink for vinyl printing and T-shirt transfers. The new one has Hi temp ink for sublimation. The expert on this is Mr300, He gave me a lot of info to get started. I bought both from Cobraink.com I didnt want to have to rig my own. Richard does a very professional job and all tubing is done correctly, not just slung over the top. I just did my first 2 mouse pads and thay are just ok, not great.

Hummer 21 Posted May 12, 2012 Thanks for the information, but does anyone know where I can purchase ink in Canada? Thanks much... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rodger 527 Posted May 12, 2012 I don't think George St Pierre sells ink ... I don't know where to buy anything in Canada , I would think " Googgle it " would apply there also . Stetty ( Stenston ) has been making a bunch of trips up there , he might chime in & offer his advice . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vinyl Expressions 10 Posted May 14, 2012 Anyone still have any printers for sale? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hummer 21 Posted May 15, 2012 So the ink that i need to purchase is "pigment ink", to print decals on vinyl, correct? Any idea where I can purchase Papilio paper or similar in Canada? The hardest thing so far with my cutting is finding suppliers in Canada. All help is very much appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

koletsb 9 Posted June 13, 2012 its matte white, I tried a sample of that one already Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
markvvq 14 Posted June 14, 2012 If you need it shiney you will have to laminate it. It has to be matt or the ink wont bond. You will have to go with a pro printer and solvent or ribbon to go with the shiney vinyl. As a hobiest or pro that does not have a lot of work it is hard to justify a printer that cost thousands.
