Full Version: Got Rotech?

Following the links to the letter from Mr. Michaels, it states that the inks are only available to printers of 42" or more.

Bruce,

That's a stipulation, due to the U.S. patents, (held by Sawgrass Technologies), not necessarily being upheld in court, but in keeping with the arrangement U.S. licensees of "the process" have signed onto.

Has nothing to do with the ink being suitable for small format printers.

Bruce,

I'm not a lawyer and I've only played one, once on TV. :-) 

I'm not sure if Rotech, sold overseas, will continue being sold to the small format market or not.

As of now, in the U.S., only ArTainium (and until the Texas Original Graphics (TOG) case is settled) and TOG's Sublibrite ink are the only two brands, of which small format users can buy bulk ink (in bottles) for use in bulk feed systems, or to refill their own cartridges.

Rumor has it that, at some point, ArTainium may only be available to small format users in mylar bags, which is the form Sublijet (Sawgrass) small format users buy their bulk ink. The mylar bags are a component of the Sawgrass "Quick Connect" system.
