Hi David,

It is an eight color printer for Sublijet inks. Theoretically it could be configured in a dual CMYK with the proper driver or firmware, but it is not currently available that way. The new Chromablast system for cotton is configured with dual CMYK. Artainium is configured as a seven color printer. The eigth channel is just a clear liquid. In the regular
R1800 with OEM inks, the eigth channel is a gloss optimizer.

Thanks for the info Kevin. I'm a die-hard 4-color man. :-) Just haven't see the hands-down benefit, of more colors in sublimation. David "The Stunt Engraver" Lavaneri DGL Engraving Port Hueneme, CA

Mike, More than likely, a physical head cleaning (as opposed to the driver-generated kind) will eliminate the "fuzzies" around your text. Ink jet sublimation is definitely a use-it-or-lose-it proposition. The more you run the printer, the fewer problems with ink flow and mis-directed spray.
