I would like to buy an Alps MD1000 or 1300. I bought one on @#$%& and never got the printer. Had to go thru pay pal to try and get my money back. The seller has disappeared. OH well...........I am afraid to do that again. Does anyone know where I can buy a used one..........(DON'T TELL MY WIFE.......SMILE) i SHOULD REVIEW THAT EXCUSE THREAD.
Thanks,

Big John any real reason for the alps, there are better printers, but if its the one you have to have, I'll do some looking

Hello Tim,
I chose Alps because that is what most people, I think, make water slide decals. I am not very technical when it come to something like that. I know that inkjets don't work worth a @$#%$^%^ and I read that laser printers weren't as good. Maybe I am wrong. Your email is hidden so I would appreciate what you could do.
Thanks,

From what I have read, the Alps is about the only printer, outside of a many thousand dollar commercial model, that will do a good job on decals. It will print white and all sorts of metallic colors. Too bad they are so hard to get. I would like to have one.

There is a company in Australia that sells the Alps MD1000 new called Aust-N-Rail. If you google Alps printers on wwwgoogle.com.au to include only pages from australia you will find them. They are brand new with out warranty for only $318.18AD or brand new with warranty for $572.73AD.

PS at the moment $0.75USD is worth about $1.00AD

John,
As Simon said above, they are still avialable here new. The ones without warranty have no cartrigdges but are brand new. I bought one of these and it has never missed a beat. He will send them overseas and it is pretty cheap as well. If you want any further info email me.

I have a Refurbished 5000, which is pretty much brand new, I printed abotu 1/2 page of decals and that's it. I have over $300 invested in it, and I know they are near impossible to find, and expensive when they are found. I've got a few metallic cartidges, regular cartidges, and a big pack of the better waterslide paper that Decal Connection sells.

John,
I just bought one of those from the company that Simon suggested. I think he had the thing shipped out the next day. Very quick service but it takes like 3 weeks to get here (by ship I imagine). Randy.
