Never heard of the Alps thermal one so
I googled it and found an Alps MD1300
and an Alps MD5000 that looked like
they might be what you where talking
about.

Are these the ones ?  And if so - How
good does the foil printing come out
on the one you bought.

Also when googling I spotted the Citizen
PN60 - which I know I have one of sitting
in a box somewhere at home.  I might dig
it up as it will be easier to pull apart
than the big dye sub.
