With the greatest respect Martin I for one have shown what can be done with the S21 & as a few already know I for one are always willing to help them with any questions etc.
I appreciate what you say about support etc & I do agree with what you say most of the time regarding this. I like to think that anyone new can start with this package & then move on up once funds allow
Yes I hear what you're saying Ian, but we get a good number of calls from people that have bought in cheap with something like an S21 because they've been sold a package from Ebay or the like, then spent money on sublimation inks and can't get it to work. This then ends up with the initial investment being thrown away with consequental loss of money and a printer that is supported being bought to get proper colour matching and the quality they want. It happens all to regularly and I feel for those that have to spend twice, especially when funds are tight.
I don't have a problem if people want to experiment with unsupported printers, but as a supplier I can't recommend that action because if I did, and based on that recommendation, a customer came back to us with problems then I'd end up contradicting myself and saying they should have bought the supported machines in the first place. If anyone wants to experiment then that's fine, but this isn't a route I would ever recommend for someone starting out unless they go down this route with their eyes completely open.
There are members here that have tried and suceeded with the S21 and there are members here that have tried and thrown the system away. Too often we receive calls from those that have tried and are going to be throwing it away.
