Default Laser for normal transfers and incjet for sublimation, 2 different computers?


I currently have a Oki 5100N laser and want to use a inc jet I have around for die sublimation and am wondering if I should run the printers on different printers to avoid any unforeseen issues with laser VS inc jet monitor/color settings.
Any answers would be appreciated.

There is no need to run two computers. Just use the one computer with the drivers of each printer installed. When you print, one printer will show up as the default printer, but to change, you only need to click on the printer you want to use.. simple...and easy

Ditto Charles's comment.

I run no less than 4 printers off my laptop and as many as six are on the shelf including three laser printers and three epsons. One laser and two epsons dedicated to dye-sub.

Just be sure to name your printers in your computer so you dont get confused.
for instance one Oki I have is for dye-sub. I renamed it Oki Dye-sub.
