Xante Excelaraphix 4200?

[chad.trent]

Anyone know anything about the Xante Excelagrapfix 4200? (Excelagraphix 4200)

We've been looking at solutions to print onto corrugated, and this looks like what we're looking for. One drawback I see is lack of automated feed, but I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this machine and could give me any more pros/cons about it.

I've never heard of this one, pardon me, but I just had to say it. That name sounds like some kind of dinosaur.

Hang on... same Possumgal from GDF?

 

[Possumgal]

Yeah, and one more place. Hi there.

 

[chad.trent]

Oh hey. I'm Cosmo over there. Small world...

 

[Possumgal]

Cosmo, hi! Wish I could be of some help with this. Hopefully somebody smart will come along for you.

I've seen it at a few trade shows now and I guess that are now "kinda" selling it. Sounds like they are having a lot of issues with it. Have you looked at hybrid solvent printers from Roland and others?

I have not been able to understand the real market for this machine, and frankly they don't make that market very clear in their collateral material, either. It won't run anything as thick at Coroplast and get this: the inks are water based. So they will fade, fade, fade. What a colossal whatever elephant this thing is. Just one more pig with lipstick for Xante.
