Epson Workforce 1100


My birthday isn't until next month but the sale was today. I've had my eye on this printer since January, having done research on lots of recommendations of printers for printing on fabric. I decided this one had the basic features I was looking for: wide format to print up to 13" wide, Durabrite pigment inks to eliminate having to use treated fabric and fading over time, and a low price. The price was reasonable even before the sale showed up, so I patted myself on the back a bit for holding off on the purchase. I've been very pleased with my Epson Stylus RX500 (a 3-in-1 with dye-based inks), so am happy to stay within the Epson family.

This will solve all my fabric printing problems, right? Probably not, but it should go a long way towards eliminating the frustrations I've had up to now and the knee-jerk hesitancy that has been keeping me from following up on ideas involving printing on fabric. I'll let you know how it goes.
