We're looking at taking the plunge on this machine too. Seen samples, they look great. Chris is also super helpful.

What are the main pros and cons between using R2000 and R3000? I've read on here that the CISS system in the R3000 would be problematic for white inks - is that nonsense?

On the contrary it would be less problematic.

Hey guys don't bother with cjellwood . I bought one from ebay back in March. I am wishing i never dealt with the guy . It does not print in the first go , You have to constantly cancel and resend the print jobs to get it to print , It has 2 flashing red lights on it which he said was not there when he tested the printer before delivery , Pretty hard to believe when this has happened since day one. Anyway he said he would replace the printer then he said that the problem could develop again on a new printer so the best bet was to buy it back of me . I was told that the printer he used for the conversion was brand new but i have just read a post on here that he has been buying used machines on ebay to convert into DTG . Now last night he wanted me to keep the printer and wait until he sold it to someone else who didn't mind the flashing red lights. I said no and that its best to just meet up and exchange it back over .

are you ok with me taking the printer next time I am near your way then paying you within 2 weeks of collection? It will be fast for me to do it that way because I can sell it on very fast when it is here with me

I do believe that he has put some good printers out there but he certainly does not want to give me any help or a refund , The only course of action i have now is to go to the small claims court to get my money back. Anyone who has had bother with him or his printers can PM me . I have nearly 100 email scripts where you can see this all unfolding !

Oh and all of his printers has been pulled of ebay in the last cpl of days.

I offered this guy a refund but he said he did not trust me to take the printer away for an inspection before I give him the refund. Then I find out he is stalking my other customers trying to look for reasons to blackmail me into giving him an all expenses paid replacement for a fault that he caused. Fortunately my other customers are happy and honest.

70 printers have been sold the past 2 years. 4 had faults that were repaired. Some of the old stock have noise issues that I am now buying time to go around replacing noisy parts for customers that mind the noise. Not bad stats really.

Im not one for putting the laundry out but heres a quote from email

Alright mate no probs , The printer still is coming up with the 2 red lights , I called you this morning as i could not get it to print . After the 6-7th attempt it went and printed 5 shirts in a row . Its beginning to be a bit of a pain having to try get it going in the morning . Can we switch this printer over with another ? Also after every print i need to switch the printer to the correct port in the rip software as it keeps jumping to COMM 10 for some reason . Cheers mate

Maybe one would think the problem there is not the printer but the COMM port issue. Try printing on another PC before issuing the order for new printers and blackmail

Anyone thinking of buying a printer from Chris, go for it. After spending some time with Chris I know how much time and attention to detail he has put into making these very reasonably priced DTG printers. Regards the guy with the flashing lights, once you set up your RIP with all the settings, you have to quit the application and restart it for it to remember the settings (no big deal and no fault of the printer).

The belt on mine started to slip once I got it back home, Chris replaced the part for me the following day (can't say fairer than that).

I now have a DTG printer that prints on dark and white tshirts, and I can also print the same image in two and three pass without any registration issues (I did have to apply a bit of a software cheat on this).

All in all, great DTG printer and looking forward to all the new modifications Chris is now making to improve it further.

Small amount of time, ink, money and you have great professional T-Shirt.

Colleague came to me with a beautiful brand new printer, explained to me everything, showed pomnoc it was very useful but if someone tries to do something Conversely let it be no surprise that he does not go.

Im now asking customers to give feedback here so there is a fair and balanced view of my printers. Its not fair that one customer destroys my reputation when there are 70 other happy customers. Just a shame my customers have to make new accounts here which looks suspicious.

I travel up and down the M1 every week supplying, upgrading and fixing my printers msot of the time at no charge to the customer so definately do not deserve a sucker punch without good reason

A couple of months ago I did make a post about my printers here so to give customers a place to discuss it, complain or cheer but the mods took it down saying it was commercial etc.

To anyone following this thread , I have tried the following

Reinstalled the Epson driver (Fixed the com 10 issue ) But still has flashing lights

Reinstalled the rip software ( Still has flashing lights)

Installed all software and drivers onto laptop ( Still has flashing lights)

Installed EK Rip and printer still has the flashing red lights .

No more testing needed - End result - Faulty printer ! Since day one the printer had issues !
