    We had a Gen4 CET with many issues. After 1.5 years of issues and arguing the machine was replaced with a Gen5.

  16. Is there a better way? (I am sure there is)

    I am printing heavy magnet on a flatbed (CET500Q) as we had been told multiple times that running this heavy material was impossible on a roll fed machine plus on long runs the registration would slip and we cut digitally... The rolls are about 80lbs each so I am sure a hybrid flatbed can manage...
