The PH-SB188 is a production sublimation printer: eight Epson i3200 heads print sublimation paper at up to 1,722 ft² an hour at 2 pass, enough to keep a calender running all shift. Large 3.5-litre tanks, tension-sensing servo feed and paper-shortage detection are what let it run long rolls without someone standing over it, and several printers can be driven from one PC.
Online setup and operator training, with your questions answered by our technical team. RIP settings and ICC profiles come set up for the ink we sell, so the first print matches the proof. Remote technical support by video for as long as you own the machine.
Crated and insured to your door, 2–4 weeks from dispatch. In the US the price is final, with import duty paid and nothing to pay on arrival; elsewhere we quote delivery before you order. 12 months on the machine, with replacement parts supplied free for manufacturing and component failure. Printheads, wipers, capping stations and dampers are wearing parts and are not covered.

PH-SB188 — what buyers ask
- How much does the PH-SB188 cost?
- Ask and you get the delivered US price in writing the same day, with any options you need priced line by line. Outside the US we quote delivery and import costs before you order.
- What else do I need?
- A rotary heat press or calender to transfer the paper onto fabric, and polyester or polyester-coated material. We can advise on a calender sized to this printer.
- Are there any extra costs on delivery?
- Not in the US. The price is delivered duties paid: freight, import clearance and duty are already in it, so no broker contacts you for money.
- How long does delivery take?
- 3–5 working days to prepare your order once payment clears, then 2–4 weeks from dispatch.
- What warranty comes with the PH-SB188?
- 12 months on the machine, with replacement parts supplied free for manufacturing and component failure. Printheads, wipers, capping stations and dampers are wearing parts and are not covered.
- Is setup and training included?
- Yes. Online setup and operator training, with your questions answered by our technical team. After that: remote technical support by video for as long as you own the machine.
- How do I pay?
- By wire transfer against a proforma invoice. You place the order on the site and the invoice arrives by email with payment instructions. Pay in full, or 50% before we prepare your order and 50% once it is ready to ship. The price is the same either way.
