  4. Third Issue With Our L560

    We just picked up two of the 570's and haven't really had any issues except a few error codes. Biggest thing to look out for is the heat setting to make sure the material doesn't bubble up on you. Other than that it's a work horse of a machine with great quality and color. As far as the inks...
