Tango By Dotworks-Should G & J be concerned?
I am a Jetplate 7600 user and I was directed by Jetplate before they belly-upped to go to Dotworks for plates. They have a new machine that doesn't even show up in their website called the Tango. It uses the Epson just like Glunz and Jensen but instead of a conveyer belt with a gum fluid it has an oven and no liquids. They are touting this as superior to G&J but the main advantage I can see is the machine only uses one channel for the marker fluid and the others use the standard Epson ink. This allows the machine to be used as a proofer. The disadvantages are that you cannot shift heads when they go bad. The advantage is that you don't need maintenance fluid which gets expensive. Every time I have to change the maintenance fluids and marker fluid in all the channels in the 7600 it's about $1000.
Anyone know anything about this machine?
