ALPS
Supra,
Here's the deal on the Alps.
They stopped making them about 3 years ago. Youcan find them on eBay, but most of them will arrived dead or damaged.
Alps no longer fixes the printers, if it breaks, you send yours in and they send youa refurbished one. ALL repairs are a flat rate - $350.00. So if you lose a screw - $350.00. Blow the main board - $350.00. You get the idea, aint it grand?
These printers are, quite frankly, a total pain in the rump. Sometimes they print fine, other times you just have to walk away.
The benefit? Nothing else (short of a $7000.00 roland cammjet) prints white, and in continuous tone no less.
Supplies are generally available, though at times, youcan't find a white cart to save your life.
If you are undaunted, they are out there.
