Dang it.  Had too many other things to ask about!

So what do you think from the samples? 

I'll be in touch with Nazdar this week to see about how many are in the field and get some user feedback hopefully.

Last I heard only 1 unit still in the field which was the beta site, 4 machines sold at long beach being built and installed anytime if not already in. The dot quality and overlap areas looked very good on the sample sheets I had them make. Xerox print head looks promising when you look at the other applications it's used on but I've personally not done enough research to have much opinion on the dts application. Resolution wise it's really nice though from the bit of loupe examining I have done. I've heard of lots of happy ijet2 clients so I can only imagine kiwo has done sufficient testing on this xts model. Only time will tell though but from what I've seen I really liked it

Cool.  I actually really like the I jet 2 with the enclosed cabinet.  I know that probably slows thing down a touch with loading/unloading but you can control a little boxed in environment like that a lot more easily than a whole room.

What about pricing? Probably more expensive than M&R, Douthitt, Exile....?

That's actually very affordable given the print size of the XTS.

I hope they make more of an effort to promote this thing than they did the Ijet2.

Is KIWO USA not known for good support? Or would it relate to small customer base  with their units. 
Oh, I got it. You probably had their iJet 1?
