A very, very old technology. It was the first thermal printer Roland had in the US that I know of. I went to see it at SignOutlet and passed on it then. It sold for $5,000 new. If it cuts vinyl, it could be worth a look. It is a 20" cutter like the PNC1000. It has a stepper motor is kind of slow and makes "cool" sounds as it cuts. I think Roland reto fitted a 1000 to print and cut. Printed at 360 dpi that was good quality. The cartridges came CYM and a CYMK. Good luck.
