Real Life Experience RICOH Ri-1000 DTG Printer Review - Years of Workflow

Hey guys, welcome back to DTG Boss. In this video I'm sharing with you guys my experience with the Ricoh Ri-1000 printers. I have ran these printers for a few years now. This is a legit, real life with experience review. I'm not biased and I'm honest in this review. If you are looking at a Ricoh DTG printer then check out this vid.

With your expertise, I’d like to ask how to get mine fired back up. I cleaned out my line and supposedly have the updated SD that was sent from Ricoma, but for some reason my display stays on the startup screen.

[@dtgboss-hu2ub]

Oh man. I had that happen once. I had to replace the screen. It's not a cheap part either. When I called support we walked through trying everything but ended up having to replace that whole part. Fingers crossed that isn't what is going on. You would just need to talk to their support and see if they have an alternate fix. Best of luck with that man!

I have a couple of questions concerning this machine

[@dtgboss-hu2ub]

Ask away man.

Great video and I know people online have a love hate relationship with this machine lol. Would you buy one used? Can you do a manteince video also? Keep making content bro!

[@dtgboss-hu2ub]

Hey thanks. Yeah for the most part I'm really happy with these printers. I'll get some maintenance videos in the pipeline! I would definitely buy one used. But, before I bought one, I would go inspect it and make sure it prints. I would check the condition of the printhead with a nozzle check and whatnot. But, I definitely keep my eye out for used ones!

Just remember that the RI 1000 has four print heads compared to the other printers.

[@dtgboss-hu2ub]

That is a good point that I did not consider!

[@Remy-c6r]

So (4) ink heads at $2500?! How often do you have to replace the ink heads? What is the life of the printer and ink heads (rough number of prints)??

[@dtgboss-hu2ub]
