Peter,
In Epson ink jet printers, the (8-color) 4000's and 4800's are the fair-haired boys.
The 4000 was the replacement for the (4-color) Epson 3000. The 4800 is the replacement for the 4000.
You can run the 4000/4800 as an eight-color printer, or as a "Dual CMYK."
If you want to "test the waters" the Epson C88 is the latest small format printer. The sublimation cartridges are expensive and don't hold much ink. If you go with that printer, you'll definitely want to buy spongeless, refillable cartridges and some bulk ink.
Bulk ink, is the term used for bottles of ink. Most come in a minimum increment of 125 ml.
Most popular ink suppliers? In Australia, you may have more options, but in the US, our choices are limited to Sawgrass Technolgies (Sublijet) and its subsidiary, Tropical Graphics (ArTainium) or Texas Original Graphics (Sublibrite). David "The Stunt Engraver" Lavaneri
