Much better machine than the Colorspan, although it's 3 times more expensive.

Yeah I really wanted to get the L&P, but the owners didn't like the price tag. We have had TONS of issues with our 9840, and they just send me the parts as well. Not an official printer tech, but have plenty of skill and ability, so it was just easier that way.

PS: It's MacDermid, not McDermott =) Though it's HP now.
