Printwear and Promotion is a week away, without a shadow of a doubt you should and see what is out there.
There is nothing you need to buy this week that can not wait (otherwise you would buy it without our opinion

)

sunangel printer seems ok in my opinion, it does what it says on the tin, which is print white laser papers, it could be a good buy for the right person if work demands it but only you will know.
like socialgiraffe says best wait for P and P and see what floats your boat, you can also see the sun angel stand and decide for yourself

Cheaper printers because they are not as good as the 711 engines. The printing is also considerably more expensive. A proper OKI white will work out a lot cheaper long term, plus they are more versatile.

Been all through the costs on the other thread..... not going there again suffice to say not everyone wants to splash out the cost of a 711 when you can get going and test the waters at a fraction of the cost.
Papers are available in 10's or 20's I believe plus there was a huge price drop a few weeks back.

I 100% agree with that comment, but your statement inferred that it is cheaper and it isn't, in fact it is considerably more expensive, even Sun Angel by their lack of response to direct questions presumably admit that.
Its a bit like using different paper, you and I probably agree that Trupix is the best paper around. It is more expensive than the cheaper unbranded stuff sold. But it is also better because it produces better results and less failures. just saying
Soulclaimed, the outlay is cheaper than the cost of a 711, but do your maths and figure out exactly before purchasing anything. The difference is not as much as you think.
