Default Best Printers Under $2500?

I am wondering what the best setup would be for under $2500 for a printer to do T-Shirts and such. No Sublimation prints. I had problems with my Oki and sent it back.

I am looking at the Richoh GX7000 with plenty of extra ink or a Epson 4880.

There may be others...what do you guys think?

What sort of printing are you doing, heat transfers? My Epson 1400 works like a charm and can print up to 13x19 sheets. I use a CIS ink system and print all of my transfers and film positives with it.

Transfers...

I have a credit that is limited to 1 printer up to around $2000 and nothing else. I can't throw $1700 away to get a $300 printer (I love the Epson 1400 by the way). This is why I am considering the Epson Stylus Pro 4880 ColorBurst Edition Large-format Printer. Need to get all I can for under or around $2500.

Alright...we went with a Xerox Phaser 8860. The Xerox utilizes a crayon like wax based ink which makes it super cost efficient. Printing color is basically same price as printing black. It is supposed to be very user friendly. I will be printing a lot of brochures with it.
