After much prodding of the Kiwo rep by our Nazdar rep it sounds like there is only two machines actually in existence, the company one is going to a show so nobody can make me test screens at the moment and the rep said he'll "have to ask" if I can speak with the other owner.  That was weeks ago.  So the XTS is probably a no-go based off that response- practically zero in the field and zero references with zero opportunity for inspection outside of a show setting.  Shame, as new print head tech is typically a good thing.  Will have to see how it pans out for others.

Zoo, I will save you the money...... There's a DLP type unit that should be hitting the market here within the next couple months(in testing now)......... This will have a very similar price point to a standard ink jet dts machine and you will have zero consumables. This will be a game changing machine for what it can do. Image setter quality halftones, no consumables, and a price point on par with a std dts........ It's right around the corner
