It wasn't too long ago we were all worried thet DTG was going to revolutionize the market and put many of us out of business.DTS or CTS will benefit the upper end of the volume market but you will have to be at the top of the food chain to really benefit from the product.time will tell but my money says 2 antlers down to this being the great white hope. mooseman

I think your right as far as the manual printers go, but for the 1 auto shop that is looking to squeeze out every last bit of production out of the press, a cts is a great way to go. eliminating long set up's, which keeps that press moving more. your investment on a cts is far less $ than adding another auto and prob will get you the most out of your 1 press, and may hold you tight for a while until you buy a second auto. so if your on the brink of adding another auto to keep up with work, think about adding a cts instead of another auto. in my opinion you can save money and get more production out of your 1 press. I know three 1 auto shops that just added one to their shop they love it, i think one of their employees said he wouldnt ever work in a place that didnt have one there! i would love to see a scoop coater that doesnt leave a ton of emulsion at the ends..
Sometime, somewhere someone is going to build a scoop coater that doesn't leave the heavy ridge of emulsion at the ends.
already done. It's called the uni-cote.
