DC4sx (possibly) Wanted

[Colin Crow]

I would be interested to hear if anyone is running one of these too. My investigations showed a couple of flaws which may be possible to work around but never found anybody to ask?

I seem to recall Alan Flynn was selling one a while back.

What was the problem with these machines, we were looking at one of these a while ago, still tempted because of the size??

i don’t think there is a real problem with them just they were swamped by the solvent inkjets.

my pc60 is slowly going down hill and i have a use for a thermal printer and all the tricks it does that inkjet wont. and i don’t want to do pictures with it.

excellent white pint will be a must ?

thought about a edge but 1-2mm text is a must something the pc60 is good at.

they seam to have a following in the states and good general reports.

The foil selection is not as good as similar printers (gerber edge, PC600) with particularly metalics missing from the range. Also no independent suppliers to offer economic alternatives.

Worse was the banding on solid colours. This is due to a built in lap on each pass of the 100mm wide foil. Without the lap there is a chance of a white stripe due to the inaccuracies of each pass. It wouldn’t work for our products but may be fine for sticker work that fits between passes?

I’ve heard they’re expensive to run as well aren’t they?

[Colin Crow]

I spent a good while on the Summa stand at sign UK last year where the very nice guys there explained the reasons for the problems.
