Re: chosing printer for dye sub or pigment printing
C88 great for sub,, just remember that all you can do is8.5x11 or 8.5x14,, I use a 1280 also,, larger transfers can be done with the 1280,, if you can find one,, I think they replaced it with the 1800,, but the c88 is very forgiving as far as ink clogs go..
Re: chosing printer for dye sub or pigment printing
the epson 1400 is more the replacement for the 1280...both have 6 colors while the 1800 has 8...the 1400 (I just got mine with bulk artainium inks) seems faster. Right now the 1400 has $75 rebate from epson...so cost should be around $325 USD. Getting the artainium profile up and running correctly is a bit of a challegene...only took me 3 hours!!
