I just started using the Leister Hemtek two days ago. We did (40) 4' X 6' banners and (3) 5' X 16' banners with it over the last couple days. I was kinda frustrated with it at first, and had to do a bunch of test pieces, but once I figured out the method to it, I really fell in love with it. I only had to reprint one banner, which isn't too bad of a learning curve considering it was like 3 banner rolls of material basically. I haven't done anything with my table setup though, it's just clamped to my normal work table. There's some videos on YouTube that show it, but even those, you still have to learn the trick. If you just plan on spending a little time with it, it's a great investment. I'm not sure what they are new, but I gave $2,500 and that one job paid for it, so as far as I'm concerned, that's a good investment.
