SV: Re: [sdiy] Cut Aluminum

[karl dalen]

Great link Andre!

I just called them up an had a chat with the owner nice dude btw!

They can make any panel unfortunately most processes are not cheap
enough to compete with schaeffer in terms of small panels, however larger
panels like JH's PS3200 etc its starting to become less then what schaeffer
charges!

So, those who do large panels and want multicolor has a whole range of
processes to chose from.

I asked about the Guillotine shear you had in your metal shop, a very nice
high quality machine unfortunately they stopped selling these because the
owner of the Gerver company had bailed out! 

The dude at the print shop i told me that the Gerver owner had just dissapered,
last time he met that dude at a printing convention in Germany he was more
interested in females then selling anything!? After that the company dont 
answer any emails or any phone calls!

The company he said was a Belgian/Tjeck thing with a office at each country.
i suspect that the Gerver machines are actually made in Tjeckia with a sales
office in Belgium/Netherlands!?

He said that he had lot of people asking about these machines but unfortunately

i could not sell any or support people. 

Its really wierd that there are not one single flat bead A4 printer for 
printing on cut sheet metal around for 299euro? There is a market for such
a thing alright!
