Encad Vinyljet 36 Questions

[carnut57]

How good of a machine is the Encad Vinyljet 36. I have a chance to buy one for $1125, is that a good price?

Thanks in advance!

i'd do a "completed listing" on ebay and see what they've gone for. my personal opinion, i've had two encads (cadjet 3d and a 505). and played around with some vinyljet inks. the problem is your output will never be competitive. if you have $1125, i'd save up a bit more and convert an old fj-40/50/52 into a mild solvent machine diy style. first use it for a while in dye/pigmented aqueous mode to get used to the mechanics. then switch it over.
