Sorry you haven't gotten a response on your first post. Could be nobody's logged on here since your post that has or knows anything about these machines. Bumping it up to give you a second swing at an answer.

If you don't get any replies, it isn't because of a newbie getting ignored. So don't get discouraged from participating in the future.

The more the merrier here.

First off I dont think you will get too many responses as most of these machines havent been out long enough to say whether or not they can stand the test of time.

All most anyone has to go by is what the manufacturer claims but its in the real world that the truth be known.

All in all I think they are getting better. I personally would stay away from true solvents. If you look at the colors they are lacking vibrancy. Especially the reds.

Roland Eco-solvent on its EX appears to be the best I've seen so far.

I suspect that in a year or two they should solve that problem. I've heard great things about the new Seiko machine but it doesnt have the cut feature.

If you're going to the ISA show you should be able to see everything that is currently available. I would spend as much time there as possible.

Good luck with the decision you make and Please, report back to everyone here and keep us posted on the outcome or your decision....
