I used one for about 4 years then went to the epson 4800. The 3000 did a nice job but the 4800 is cheaper to run. I had some print head problems with the 3000 which I have never had with the 4800.

How do you fix a print head problem? And how much cheaper is the 4800 to run? Im just looking to start out with the 3000 and upgrade to the 4800 as soon as I can afford it.

I don't remember the cost to fix but the 3000 is out of production and it was faster then having it fix to go new. It is a little cheaper not much but the real cost is in the garment and other products. But don't let that turn you away the sublimation market has been good to me.

i have two of the little darlings - they're old, slow and noisy but they put out beautiful prints! i don't do high production mass quantity so the speed has never been an issue for me.
