Looking For Better Film Positive Printer
I've been using an R1800 with FastRIP for my positives for a while. I'm sick of the clogged print heads, and I'm looking for my options for a non-inkjet positive printer.
I've seen a lot of recommendations from the Xante ScreenWriter 4, but just noticed that it's been discontinued. Is the FilmMaker 4 it's replacement? Or are there still some ScreenWriters to be found? Would it be wise to buy a discontinued model? And I've heard about the warping from the heat of the laser printer. Is this really a problem?
What other options are there besides inkjets? And any idea of the price range would be helpful.
Thanks for the help,
Rusty
