Becky,

Here is my two cents, which isn't worth much.

Get the Epson4000. I looked at all the options for a year before I made my choice, I read most of the posts......and ultimately decided on the 4000. I have had it for well over a year, with the 110ml cartridges ( which lasted close to a year by the way) .....it NEVER Clogged, I have had only ONE color correction problem, and only ONE mechanical problem which Epson took care of as close to immediately as humanly possible.

Add to that, that the printers you are looking at can only accept one size of paper, the epson4000 has 4 sizes of paper available to use, as well as a ROLL of paper for extended runs. This is handy when you want to print more than one image. For example, you can only get ONE ( 1 ) 6" tile I if you do tiles on an 8X10 sheet. You can get 4 on a 17 x 22, and an almost infinite number on the roll.

I also know you have a large order for mugs....you can only get two prints for mugs on an 8 x 10, but you can get four or maybe 6 on a 17 X 22, and A LOT more on the roll. Ultimately this will save you time and money...which is really what it is all about.

want change?

Are we still talking about sublimation ink ???

2 oz $86 75ml per color
4 oz $140 125 ml
8 oz $240 250ml
16 oz $406 500ml

Hi David,

Yes, the 4800 is the model that is the dual system. It uses two drivers....one is the Powerdriver for the sublimation side, and the other is the Chromablast driver to use that side. The only thing you have to manually change is the paper. It is a really cool option to allow you to do both technologies with one machine.

The 4000 is not set up to do this.
