signwerx 0 Posted August 20, 2009 Just getting into heat transfer and need a desktop printer using pigment inks and not die. Limited funds but want to do quality short runs. Can anyone reccommend what to buy and where? Thanks, Phillip Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TransferThis 0 Posted August 20, 2009 I have the Epson C120. Very inexpensive. I bought mine full price at 69.00 a while back so I'm sure they've gone down. The Epson website has sales every so often on these printers (and more) for around 30.00! You might want to check the website just in case. I've printed many transfer shirts with my printer and JPSS paper and haven't had any complaints. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest sciondrgn Posted August 20, 2009 I picked up a C120 for $35 and Free Shipping direct from Epson.. Not a bad printer but doesnt compare quality wise to my RX600 or my CL but the designs do last on the shirts hehe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edge 67 Posted August 20, 2009 I have purchased both refurbished C88+ and C120 from the Epson site in the past. To my eye the 120 is superior in print quality. The C88+ uses 4 of the TO600 series cartridge, while the C120 uses 5 of the 68/69 series cartridge. I do not perform a lot of ink transfers and as a result..in spite of attempts to not; end up with clogged print head issues. I'm ashamed to admit I've come to think of these refurbs as throw away printers and have done just that to two of C88+(s) in the last year. I'm down to my last one and will probably look at the Kodak low cost cartridge pigmented ink printer if/when the need arises. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TransferThis 0 Posted August 20, 2009 Hmmm, just looked up the C120 on Epson's website and it has been discontinued. Guess I should have looked on the website first before suggesting it. Sorry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
