Thanks Ernst,
When I purchased my new Epson P8000 last year to convert it to a dye sublimation printer everybody said you cannot do that it will not work.
I chose it because it is an 8 color machine and almost all of Epsons dye sub machines are CMYK.
The chips had recently been hacked which opened up the option for refillables, a must.
Here it is a year later and that printer with dye sub ink is the best machine I have in my studio.
A half day getting a good profile and my metal prints are now as good as it gets.
Refillable carts with Ink Owl ink @ .15 ml just cannot be beat. That Piezo head handles that ink with no issues, none.
Epson printers have been converted to dye sub inks for years. Epson 4800, 4880, 7890 and 9890 to name a few.
I had the 4880 for 5 years and the output was superb.
J-Teck, Epson and Ink Owl inks are finally leading the way in dye sub ink sales finally pushing Sawgrass to the back of the line where they belong.(8 times more expensive!)
It is good news to see one of the competitors taking on the dye sub market. Looks like a fantastic addition to the digital textile market.
I believe they are CMYK printers but am anxious to read more about the inks they are using. All good stuff.
