Considering this one as posted by Merritt Graphics. However, I've no experience with these, but I like some of the things can be done with it...direct printing to rigid substrates AND rolled goods. However, are there other considerations about these that may not be readily apparent? I've heard that the UV is not as flexible as normal solvent-based inks...is that true? Regarding the printer itself, any particualr pitfalls or benefits? I'm trying to determine what markets I might be able to get into with this that I am missing out on. Do they require daily activity to maintain in good "health" or can it sit for a coupla days? What about overall maintenance? How much are the UV lights when replaced?

Anyway, just looking for any comments on it. Thanks.
