are the top and bottom heating platens or just the top one? What is the clamping pressure? The inks I use says I need 30 or 40 psi.

Only the top platen heats. The clamping pressure is as much as you want, you adjust the pressure mechanically with the hand screw.

Its set at 3200 psi. You change nozzles to get different types of pressure (fan vs. pin point). Hope this helps.

Like any inkjet, it depends on how much you print and what quality. My default setting is gray scale / draft to extend ink life.

I keep my machine at 45 PSI at the machine gauge for stuff less than 1/4 mild steel. 1/4 is at the top end of the machine's capability, so you might want to experiment with up to 60 PSI. Remember to control your cutting speed with thicker metals and remember that you'll get flashback that will foul your tips and lessen your tip lifetime. Keep your tips clean and you'll be happy with their extended life (and save money).

Correct. I have managed to get mine to make a small part that HAD to be ABS for tempurature reasons. I printed into a puddle of super glue ( a trick I found on the internet) and it worked, but it took a few tries. Lots of people have added a heated bed to their simples, and they print ABS just fine.

Both of those machines are not ones you can use on skin. The plate with the holes is for your ink cups. Power Supply is good but the foot pedal is on/off only. So look into a different gun. But everything else is there. And the ink is not good at all do not put that in your skin.

VERY IMPORTANT!!!!! The ink system is designed to be gravity fed at an EXACT Pressure. If it is too high the ink will flow into your printer and could overflow. If it is too low it may not feed properly. NOTE: If you bought the extra paper tray like I did, you will have to put something under the Ink system so that it is at the same level of the printer itself (Like if it only had one paper tray.) I made a cardboard box the exact height as the extra paper tray and keep my ink system on top of that.

The pressure isn't marked (but I'm sure it does). However, due to applying pressure the clamp mechanism on mine broke 3 times and I had to take it to a machine shop each time, then the cord burnt out and I got a new at Radio Shack and then the heat element died and I bought something else. I spent more on fixing this thing than it cost.

It appears your cartridges are 564's. If those are your cartridges than refilling them will work great. For these cartridge types the printhead is separate from the cartridge so you do not have to worry about clogged printheads.

What PSI are you running it at? It should be anywhere between 80 and 90 PSI. Or your tip might be clogged with something.

I used a regular printer and they worked. Just do not allow it to come in contact with water or it will bleed

Maybe they where talking about the refills you inject. Honestly i would stay with suggested cartriges. Check the XL versions of ink, they carry a lot more ink

Sorry, I cant answer that question. It may be best to stick with the same kind of ink you originally got or a different ink may corrupt your printer.

I have learn not to mixed inks. However if the printer has not had any sublimation inks use before, it should be okay. But you should pretty much stay with ant-UV (which really good ink, substitutes are good too, just not as vivid) or stay with the ink your are using. The problem seem to be the mixer with certain colors. With this ink (SO FAR) I haven't had any problems or clogging ~ hope this helps! bless your day!

I wish I knew too. I have the same problem. The ink just pools on the top. I'm going to try my laser printer to see if that works. Overall, I am really disappointed.

How many pages does this ink print out? What is the capacity of each cartridge ?

Try heating it with a small torch (take glass braker and ink cartridge out) carefully then try to rebend. P.S. Yse gloves its going to be very HOT!
