When my Ricoh printer bit the dust, I switched to an Epson WF-7610 with Cobra inks.
That gave me a maximum transfer size of 13"x19" right out of the box.
The cost with an ink supply and refillable cartridges was considerably less than the 8"x10" Ricoh/Sawgrass machine alone, without any inks.
In Canada, the Epson WF-7610 is usually on sale somewhere for about $150 so even if it fails, a replacement is no big deal. That's half the cost of the bypass tray alone for the larger Ricoh to get to that size. Same old Sawgrass gouging.
What I really miss though is the larger size transfers (17"x22") which my Epson 4000 printed along with 8 ink colours.
