Wouldn't have been my first choice, but it's what we ended up with and it's working well. I would definitely stay away from any of the Epson mods though. We were using two of those before this upgrade and had constant issues. Ink is cheaper than brother, but still not "bulk" rates. At our volume though (hundreds of prints a day) we needed cheap redundancy and the epson fit the bill for now (we will likely be getting 3 to 5 more once we are sure it works for our needs). I have to admit we were definitely scared away from the m&r being discontinued even though i know they will continue to support it for a while...

Where did you hear it was being discontinued? Rich said it wasn't and that even if it was being discontinued they would support it for at least 7 years.

What shop are you working at now?
Sbrem:
Has anyone had any experience with Omniprint? Their promo materials speak of very low maintenance, though they are a modified Epson...

Eric: Bumperactive. They bought me to bring screenprinting in house. We have grown like crazy. When I looked yesterday our saber already has almost 350k impressions since install in may...
Mk162: there was a thread about discontinuing the m link a month or so ago and it has been brought up a few other times. I just re-read the thread and rich didnt confirm or deny that it was being discontinued. For the price though we could buy two or 3 of the Epson, and the redundancy of multiple machines was appealing.

Another thing I should mention: pretreating. We have us3d the Wagner gun and the viper for a while, but upgraded to the newest shulze. That thing is a game changer and worth the cost if you're doing volume. Very well designed machine and consistent controllable results. Solved a lot of nagging little issues with that part of the process.
