Have you received responses from actual R1800 users?
Curiosity is winning out. :-)

David,
We have not received any responses anout the R1800. We decided to proceed with the purchase any way and are in the process of setting it up. We have been told by a Sawgrass reseller that the PowerDriver Lite is the only way to make this printer work properly.
Thanks for checking in.

I have an 1800, I bought it from Kevin at JP. It performs exactly as he says and I couldn't be happier with the printer. I am not too happy with the Powerdriver situation but the printer is pretty much flawless. Kevin is working with Sawgrass to get the driver situation resolved and I have absolute confidence that it will happen - I just wish it was working now.
Regarding Kevin and JP - you won't find a better rep to work with you before, during and after the purchase. Kevin spent quite a bit of time on the phone with me before I bought, explaining all the options and giving his opinion as to which is the best way to go. He has experience running a sublimation business so he has real-world advice. I purchased a lot of equipment based on his advice and it is all working as he said it would. My concern was whether or not he would still be there after the sale - this concern came from years of dealing with vendors that have salespeople who are only interested in making the sale and then pass you on to incompetent support reps who don't really care too much. Kevin has spent as much time after the purchase as he did before the purchase helping me through the Powerdriver issue as well as just generally providing info on various sublimation processes. If you want honest answers and real-world experience you won't go wrong with Kevin.

Kevin - you know my address, I expect the check to be in the mail by the time you finish reading this ;-)
