    Thats the same machine that Rodney Gold was talking about a while ago…
    But I think the price is nearer £12,000

    Ours worked well for a while initially but we have had incredible problems with it , its the BUSjet that has just been relabled

    Maybe the later models have sorted out some problems but despite my early enthusiams , ours turned out to be a total lemon. We replaced countless heads, dampers , pumps , capping station and had a ton of problems with the motion system. When it does work , it is fantastic. There were 5 or 6 of these sold in my country and as far as I know , no user has been happy or had excellent service out of theirs.
    Right now ours is being converted to a direct T-shirt printer which might or might not make us some money (its being done free) but its better than the lump of metal it currently is.

    At that price it might be worth a look , we paid about 5000 quid for ours at todays exchange rate. Was about $10k in the states.
    Its an epson 1290 printer that has been converted.

    The machines print mechanics and engine is based on an Epson 1290 printers innards.
    It cant print t-shirts in it’s current configuration , but can if you change the inks and add an attachment.
    I hage no idea of how long it takes or the durability as ours has not been done yet. Print speeds are the same as the 1290 do undoubtedly it would take as long , 2-3 mins for an A4 at decent quality. I know you have to heat press the t-shirt after.
    I have no idea of what materials it will or will not work on. My machine is basically useless right now so anything that can make it generate income is ok to me.

    I think this is a product that has been dropped. Beware.
