I haven't run the math but it is complicated. Some considerable cost savings as no expensive head replacements like DTS always need, no consumables, one step process and simplifying our processes always saves labor dollars, and no bulbs to buy or to figure out if they need replacing. That all is before we all figure out if this technology exposes superior screens, which it appears to do.The only other thing I'll say is that if dealing with Saati, I feel better than I would with some other companies because they never try to BS me and they stand by their products and equipment. They even were extremely helpful to me when I reclaiming power washer was broken and it turned out to totally be our fault from a building wiring issue. We asked a lot of questions and they seemed to have solid answers about this unit. We still use film and we are thinking of leapfrogging over DTS to the laser.The screens I saw from it were far superior to an inkjet DTS. If I was thinking about spending $40k on a new DTS, I would have to look long and hard at the Saati unit.So you would spend $77k on this? Where did the $40k come from?Anyone know anyone actually printing with this unit? The one shop I know that has it can’t use it because the emulsion breaks down after 200 impressions and apparently even post exposing doesn’t fix it. Do you have to use a specific or proprietary emulsion with it did they say?
