WHO HAS THE OLDEST PRINTER and it still works great?

[Bobas Kalobas]

I have a Roland sp300v that I bought in 2005. It is 20 years old. Repairs made: replaced the pump 3 times, replaced pinch roller wheels once, replaced the heater fuse once, replaced the printheads 3 times, replaced the bearing blocks with new ones twice.

damonCA21 lied and said he had brand new block bearings but they shipped in from the UK with cat hair, cigarette smoke, black dirty grease and they burned up in 6 weeks and he wouldn't stand behind them. Why did I use them even though he said "These are way better than new ones"? because I see that he sells a lot of stuff on here and I stupidly trusted him anyway! The new ones I bought elsewhere work awesome! He costed me a lot of money and time! BEWARE! BUY LOCALLY ONLY aka USA! Sorry for BOLD PRINT, when I copied his name it made the copy bold.​

Way to start a conversational thread about the life of printers, just to slam a member here.

i would trust him with anything he was selling.
very unusual to have that kind of complaint about him

regarding the other question
roland sc545-ex bought used. circa 2005 i believe
we got rid of an older fj52 a couple years back

not a wide format but we have several (many)zebra label printers
the oldest still working is a 140xii (somewhere around 1990-1992)

Roland SP540V was bought new. Installed on 1-10-06. Several parts replaced but really nothing out of the ordinary for it's age.

Respect for keeping that demo sticker on there for over 30 years.

Bought one of the first roland sp540 when first out, back in 2004. Still going strong.
