Thank you!
Could someone help me please? I would like to know if the equipment that I am about to buy is a good one for an entreprise who will sell approximately two or three hundreds tee-shirts and sweatshirts by year...
There is the equipment in question:
- Inkjet: Epson Stylus Photo R1800
- Heat press: Hix Presto 15
- Scanner: ScanJet 4850 Photo
Thank you! It is appreciated...
Welcome!! You will be able to find the answers to any questions you may have here, someone will either be able to answer them, or point you to a thread that has the answers you are looking for!! This is a great place for learning =)
I personally choose an EpsonCX7800 - the most important thing about printers.. is getting one with pigment ink, my epson came with Durabrite ink - which IS pigment.. If you get a printer without pigment ink.. You will most likely need to get a bulk ink system and use the pigment inks anyways.. Going with one that already comes with it, is a good place to start in my opinion...
I don't know much about the Hix products... I'm sure someone else will... for a heat press, I personally choose a 15x15 Mighty Press.. so far it works great and is just what we needed...
As far as the scanner.. the epson printer I got DOES have a scanner on it.. its more of an all-in-one type machine.. the difference between this model, and the "upper" scale model.. is this model was able to scan negatives.. and the other couldnt.. and this model also has the card slots for digital cameras etc.. and the other didnt.. Why the other is more money.. I'll never know - but even the gal at epson suggested I go with the 7800 - more features.. and 20-40 bucks cheaper...
Hope this helps - you can also search the forum for answers on start up machinery..
Good Luck and Happy Holidays!
