memjet based label printers

[lfelton]

There seem to be some products out now based on Memjet technology, i.e. roll to roll label printers. Does anyone have experience with these? The last I read about these a few months ago, people were saying that the print was not water fast, i.e. not much use for product labels etc. Has that changed? Can they print on glossy labels successfully? Anyone tried UV coating them? Running costs? TIA for sharing any experience.

I haven't actually seen such a printer but I received printed samples and they look impressive, deep rich color absolutely not the thing I expected to see from a memjet machine. I also believe they're coated they look too shiny I shall take a closer look on Monday.
