Has anyone seen this? I think I want one to save my wife's back!!!
I contacted them and they said, "No US import cert yet and no US distributors, yet."
Any Canadian Distributors? Any way to get on to the US?

Very cool concept. Wondering if it can handle thicker rolls of banner material. Also I wonder if these are going to come to the US as a OEM add-on via the manufacturers shown on the website.

Neat. I had thought about building one to hold wrap, banner and four mil. With DIY or the rig shown the issue would be infeed alignment. You would need to make sure it's dead level to the platen and trammed to the linear rail for the head.
After that you would want to pin it into position so it can't move while loading/unloading or someone bumping into it.

I spent a major portion of my life building infeeds, flying pasters, ribbon decks, plate makers, you name it. Every last one was dependent on being dialed in to its related equipment. Didn't matter if it was a "zero-speed" or running three thousand feet a minute. It has to be level, aligned, pinned in place period.

I can see a bunch of issues if the build quality is poor. Just my two cents.
