Subject: Price is SLOWLY coming down.

Direct Inkjet Printing is QUITE the topic. I've been thinking about it
since I saw the first "Straight Through" printer. I just found this...

$10,995 for a commercial unit!!! If enough industries get on board with
this technology to keep the demand up we could see that price drop even
faster in the next couple of years. I paid $1250.00 for my Technics CD
Player. Now you can get a player for $50.00

Seeing Brother in the list of companies making them is a good sign!
That increses the likelihood of it jumping from the pro market to the
consumer devision. I can see the marketing..."Kids....make you own T-
Shirts at home"..."Mommy...I WANT one !!! "

Having said all that...I'm still a DIY guy at heart. Turning a $50.00
Epson printer into a PCB making machine is an exciting concept.

Cheers....Dean.
