is the older sj-540 worth buying? i have someone that recently upgraded. and was selling theirs cheap. but i cant find much on them. are they decent printers?
Hey franklinsigns,
There's no readily available announcement data for the SJ-540 printer, but we do still have access to the SJ-640 info here:
Roland Offers New Addition to SOLJET PRO II EX Printer Family | News Release | Roland DG
The SJ-540 is the same printer as the SJ-640, except the SJ-640 is just a bit wider. Other than that, all the info you see on that webpage can be applied to the SJ-540.
Overall, it's a great printer, but with anything used, buyer beware. You have no history on the machine, how it was operated, maintained and if it was neglected.
Also, you can access the SJ-540 support webpage online here (for user's manuals and the like):
