I have read that this printer is great for sublimation, but I was wondering if anyone out there is using it for inkjet transfers? It seems as though many of the common issues with comparable epson printers would be minimized by using this "gel ink".

I have spoke with conde and the stated that they have used the gx7000 for inkjet transfers and the results were fine. I would love to hear if anyone here has any further experience with "gel ink" and the ricoh printers???

did you ever find out if the gelsprinters are good for regular transfers?

I still haven't heard from anyone who owns one and uses for regular transfers.

We have put the Ricoh 5050 and 7000 through its paces. We had the printers about 6 months before we offered them to the public. They both do a very good job. If you have a sales rep here, contact them. They should be able to send you samples.

you also did test with papers like jpss or jet opaque?

even regular epson dye ink works fine with jpss, so not much can go wrong.

i just send some empty jpps samples to ricoh.
mainly curious how the colors come out.

I'm looking at getting a Ricoh GX7000 for heat transfers (non dye sublimation transfers) but want to find out if the OEM Ricoh gel inks will be up to the task.

I have seen in the Conde information relating to these printers that they can be used for regular heat transfers but I can only find references to to sublimation. so anyone that has been or is currently using the Ricoh gx7000 and OEM Ricoh gel carts your input would be fantastic!

We've been wondering the same thing, how the gel inks work for with jpss paper. We'd really love to hear how it's worked in the real world.
