PointOfExpression 53 Posted September 19, 2014 So I have been doing a lot of research lately on possibly upgrading to a 24" pigment ink printer for my full color stickers. Anyone know what printers are out there or have experience with? I have sen quite a few nice ones from the 1-2k price range. It will be used to print full color stickers on inkjet adhesive vinyl that I already use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pshawny 410 Posted September 20, 2014 Epson & HP make 24" pigment printers. I have an Epson 7900. They are good for indoor stuff and short term outdoor stuff. I paid $1700 for my printer. It was only a few months old and barely used. The guy was asking $2000, but took my offer. Look at searchtempest to see what's available close to you.

PointOfExpression 53 Posted September 20, 2014 How do you like the printer? Hows the prints? What are you using it for? Does it clog quite easily? Also, do you go through your inks real fast or no? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pshawny 410 Posted September 23, 2014 I like the printer. It prints great images. I've done photos, wall decals, banners, & canvas prints. I try to print a test page every day to keep the inks moving. Clogs can happen, but are easily cleaned by the printer. I bought refillable cartridges and bulk ink. Ink is about $0.045/ml. My last 2ft x 3ft banner print used 4.3ml of ink, about $0.20 worth. I'd probably multiply that by 1.5 to take into account for cleaning cycles and test prints.

Could you send me a link? I am having the hardest time finding the right sticker material for Pigment Ink printers.. Thanks, Marvin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
