sometimes you win, always you lose...

Just saw the perfect direct to boad printer.........


Its a medion 160 photo printer in a store called aldi, uses full width
wax based ribbons, so can do boards upto 7*5 like photo sized etc, on
a special when its gone its gone offer for 69gbp, looks like I was a
week late but had to go so I jumped into car and drove over to get
one, had a good look at it etc, comes with 3 wax based ribbons of the
usual secondary colours, emm I thought just put one ribbon at a time
in get 3 times the life of the ribbons!

Then I spotted the problem, the paper exit, it was almost flat feed
all the way through, right to the last 1 or 2 cm where it drops down
to feed into the tray........Grr....

If I was back in a job and had some spare cash I would buy one and
take a saw to it etc and experiment, but cant afford to lose the money
at the moment
