Hello, our department uses this instrument. I asked the specimen processor if she could pass on what she thinks about it. Here is her response:
For the most part I really like it. It's a lot quieter than our last cassette printer, and it's much faster. I also like having six functional hoppers because I fill it up a lot less. Also, the trays that it prints into are great and keep us very organized. I feel like it jams up a lot, but it's generally pretty easy to clear the jam and it's just more of a nuisance than anything. Also, four trays (holds a total of 100 cassettes) wasn't quit enough for us and it's a pain to print without a tray (you have to specify a different outlet, and the cassettes shoot all over the place), but extra trays were very expensive and I think you have to buy either two or four at a time. Hope this helps!
