RossyB Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 We are about to pull the trigger on purchasing a Sublistar printer, just doing a bit of final due diligence first before we pull the trigger. Has anyone here bought one? Is there anything we should be made aware of before going ahead? anything you don't like about the machine etc?? any input would be greatly appreciated :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnson4 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Don’t really know I’ve never used them. One big issue I see is the curing oven looks like it vents into the open room, without an exhaust? It’s also weird a price isn’t listed. DTFsuperstore.com has them as well, I would trust them over this website anyday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnson4 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Also looks like they are based in CN, you can probably find better deals on aliexpress if you want to deal with importing/exporting depending on your location. if your in the US check out the website I mentioned. If not, order directly from China with purchase protection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnson4 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I haven’t seen one of them have anything “ better” than the other, other than maybe support, rip softwares supported, and of course knowing the overall specs to know if it will work for you.

Sucks to still see the film walking on what appears to be a decent machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, The take-up roll, They accidently showed the film going well over the edge of the machine and quickly aimed the camera upwards. So when the film should go on the tube, it instead "walks" left and right making the film crooked/crinkled etc and causes issues. It's an issue on all the machines I've seen. Simple guides would easily fix the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They actually not properly winded due to loose tension but i have never seen any kind of issue in mine due to that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s natural for them to go side to side, given the uneven surface. It seems to take several revolutions for 1-2mm side to side, which progressively gets worse. Kind of the same reason the printer has a guide. Just crazy to see that on a high end unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
