With this being an older unit that has been taken care of, I wanted to hear thoughts or hear from people that have used/owned one of these earlier dts.
Its a second gen. three print head unit. Right now I'm averaging 33 screens per day and this has caught my attention.
Right now I'm working with film using accurip. How much of a learning curve will there be switching over to using this? Any other thoughts or advise might be helpful. Thanks

If it is three print heads it must be an I-image ST. Depending on value of the machine it would be a great buy.
I tell people to look at smaller cts units around 30-50 screens per day, so you are right in there.

Thanks Alex, I-Screen is what I'm gathering from the photo of the unit. Vertical screen load/print method.

Then it is older (first gen) unit from M&R. It was based on an Epson 9880. B/C of parts availability and age I would suggest waiting for a used ST that is newer or look at the newer lower production/cost units that have come out recently.

Thanks Alex, that's sort of the way I'm leaning also.

Do not buy that.

Save up and get an ST
-
Second the ST.
Ours has been bullet proof, and you have the service of M&R to fall back on.
Ricoh heads are unreal, and consistent.
Who here likes epson print heads....

Epson likes their print heads....

Every single epson I ever owned almost drove me to go and drop it off of a bridge or smash it in the alley. I smashed a few 3000's in the alley just like "Office Space" , and it felt so good.

30-50 screens, even 100 screens, for the price, there is not reason whatsoever to not get the more economical one head ST version.
