  1. Lease or purchase question.

    Thanks to everyone for the great advice. I sure got some very good advice on what to do as far as a lease or purchase. One problem with either leasing or just making a purchase is the minute the printers leaves the dealer headed for my shop is the hit you take on what it's now worth. A friend...
  2. Lease or purchase question.

    What benfits are there to a lease other then you are not using your own money? I find myself not sure if I want to lease a new Roland or just purchase it and I would like to hear from others who have found themselves in the same position. I have spoken to my Roland dealer and they have given...

    It is a tuff choice for sure. I have heard from others that they feel the Mutoh Valujet is a better printer but!!!!!!!!! I have also heard that many are not happy with Mutoh Customer Service or should I say the lack of it. I also know that whatever printer I purchase the serivce is only has...
  7. Mutoh or Roland question.

    OK I give up!!!!! Between the Roland and the Mutoh which ones has the better printhead design and why? Being new to this even if I looked at the print heads I still might not know why one is better then the other so I will ask the question. Having looked at both printers and talked with...

    I have never used a Gerber Edge 2 printer so I have a few questions. I have a chance to purchase this printer for under $2,000 dollars and it prints fine with no problems but it does not come with a plotter. This printer was just serviced and appears to work fine but my question is what else...
