With thousands of paper types on the market ranging from just 90 GSM to 135gsm  for sublimation printing its possible to get Pizza Wheel marks on any paper when used in conjunction with a certain media thickness ,  image density , versus printer settings.

It's easier to get pizza wheels on thinner papers or high release papers which typically release more inks which is good for fabrics so you need to work out what settings work out well for your paper / printer / image combination .

Recommended settings are generally given by your supplier but things can change over time even a more saturated image can cause issues

If you have developed Pizza Wheels it does not mean you have a faulty printer, ink or paper  here are some examples of why you may need a thicker paper.

This image is printed on 2 different brands of paper but with the same printer and settings - the one on the left has pizza wheels the one on the right does - so from this you might say ok the paper is faulty - in this case you are wrong - look at our second image of the balloons.


Our second image same settings / paper / printer again but no pizza wheels ? - this is because the 1st image is very high density for the paper type so it needed a thicker paper also black inks generally are the colour that can show on pizza wheels.

During more tests with different brands of paper similar issues were found - again this one with blacks.

This one is a high density colour image which showed the same  - although very minor on thinner papers

so in summary occasionally you may need a thicker paper / quicker drying  if your image is very dense, although we recommend this is as a last resort as it may increase your costs, other solutions are possible which include changing printer settings and cleaning the feed rollers.

Some of the papers we tested are shown below

We are now please to be fully suporting Big sur for sublimation printing , with no colour management issues and colours comparable to all previous versions on a mac

 

Continuous Ink Supply system 

My last Epson printer had a Continuous ink supply system fitted and worked extremely well over the years I had it.


Unfortunately my printer went wrong so after looking at the City Ink Express site and finding that a CISS was available for an Epson XP-3105 I then bought the printer. Straight away I went to the City ink express site to purchase the Continuous ink supply system quoted for the printer.


Ordering was extremely simple and exactly as was promised, my CISS package arrived after 3 working days.


Watching the videos on how to fit the system to my printer made the installation very simple and within half hour (as mentioned) my printer was up an running. I printed out a document on plain paper and the resolution and colour was fantastic. I then tried it on a picture I had taken, once again the colour and resolution was perfect, it looked as good as I used to get when getting prints processed from a photographers.


I really am impressed with this item, which I am sure will be as good as my previous CISS, will save me an awful lot of money not having to change inks at about £16.00 for each colour. Order one now, you will not be disappointed

 

Kind Regards

After extensive and in depth testing on this model which included over 25,000 prints, over 4 litres of ink we are happy to release what we believe in our opinion to be a comparable model to the Sawgrass SG400 printer but with just a fraction of the ongoing running cost


Supplied as a pre modified and already initialised printer where you just have to fill the carts - pop in and change a few settings, the printer is chip less which means you don't have to worry about resetting of chips or failed chips, if you wanted to print 1000 documents with no interruption the printer is capable if it has enough ink

 

Huge savings on your running costs when compared to an SG400 which is typically around £1.20per ml of ink and the cityinkexpress brand around 18 pence 


Kit Contents include


4* 300ml capacity cartridges


200ml of each colour ink 800ml in total capable of around 4000 mugs


100 sheets a4 paper


1 roll heat proof tape


C5210dw printer modified chip less for sublimation

I have purchased many items including CIS systems for my 3 printers which came with very clear instructions and work excellent.

I have also purchased normal ink and sublimation ink for many years and have never had any problems, I buy all my sublimation paper from CityInkExpress, as I find it excellent quality.

If at any time I have had a problem someone has always answered my query.

Thanks CityInkExpress for your service.
