Are there proprietary print cartridges or spools required that must be purchased from the manufacturer, or can generic sources of print material (PLA) be used?

Any 1.75 mm filament can be used, however, read the reviews for whatever you buy.

I'm not sure why a cartridge is needed. Everything we needed was already included in the part we purchased.

Doesn't matter which side (or both) of the paper you print on. Your printer needs to be capable of double sided printing or you know how to manually print double sided.

There is a compatible system on Amazon. You need to search by the type of printer you own. You can't just take an system and throw it it. Also, there are issues with the systems. I bought one and one of the cartridges leaked in the box. I'm looking ot get refillable cartridges without the connecting reservoir. Less issues that way. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Doffice-products&field-keywords;=deskjet+1000+continuous+ink&rh;=n%3A1064954%2Ck%3Adeskjet+1000+continuous+ink Found this. Maybe it'll help. Do lots of research before you commit to buy. Read the reviews even though a lot may be biased. At least you will get a better idea of what it is and whether or not you really want to chance it on a reservoir system. There is a compatible system on Amazon.

I can not answer your question because I do not know very much about different printers

I don't know. There are lots of these printers in the field now. You could send a file to a service house or the manufacture andtest your file, most likely for free.

Not sure what you mean by "3rd party" but if you are talking about generic cartridges that are not made by Epson for this printer, then I don't know, because I have always bought genuine Epson cartridges. I might try using generic cartridges once this batch runs out. Did I answer your question, was I right about what you meant?

Yes, you can use an inkjet printer, however your final project will still look like a thick piece of card stock paper with an image instead of a nice thin transparent sticker. Hope this information helps with your purchasing decision. Sandra

Not sure exactly what you are asking. However I was able to print on heavy linen stock of non-standard size. This printer has very nice quality color prints but after one year of relatively light use I got a warning message that the printer needed service. I called Epson to schedule shipment but was told that the service fee was about as much as buying a new printer. Check out a few other reviews on other sites - you'll probably be reading similar stories. While it worked, it made some beautiful prints.

I don't know. You'd have to ask the company selling the cartridges, not the customers.

Not sure. The question I would be asking is what type of inks can the Machine use. HP makes a line of machines that are capable of handling assorted types of inks for printing on films. You may need to break out a second mortgage on your house to get one.

Yes you can use just the ink cartridge. I hope that tells you what you needed to know.

I never used generics with any printers I had. Doing so might void the warranty.

As far as I know, you cannot create your own, but there are several cartridges that will print and cut any number of items. The hardest thing for me was finding the color and black cartridges for this machine; they are quite expensive IF you can find them.I hope this info will help.

I don't think it has a feature for printing non standard items. Try the Epson 3520

Also, my printer is able to print on this type of material. Just check a few different places and I am sure you will find someone.

I think you can print custom sizes on most printers as long as the paper is not any bigger than the maximum size the printer will take.
