Re: Interesting Print heads

2007-03-30 by docstein99

Ok I called the office, and spoke with a very informative engineer.  
He then explained all the stuff I read on the website, and mentioned 
alot about how their versitile technology can print pretty much 
anything on anything.

But all that really doesnt make a difference, unless anyone is 
interested in spending $35,000 - $90,000 on the smallest machine they 
make, or sign a contract to liscence their printhead design for like 
100,000 units.  If you were a government funded research company, 
then you would get an invite to their labratory to use their 
equipment on site and develop a solution.

And even with the $35,000 machine, he said the heads for that cost 
$1,000 and offer no guarantee to clogging or damage so when they go 
bad you would have to pony up another $1k each time you tried a 
different ink or wax that clogged the head.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

JUST my two cents here --- if a company doesnt list a catalog online 
with prices and a check-out option, then the products are probably 
too expensive to buy.  And if their "contact us" lists offices all 
over the world?  Another sign that their products are intended to be 
bought a million at a time.
