Teac P 11 (CD/DVD printer, B/W, thermal transfer)

Summary: It will break. THe Printing Head breaks the clips that holds it into the carrier. NewEgg stop carrying the TEAC branded unit because of the returns.

Summary: Santill28, Almost all due sub printers "spray jobs" engineered by ALPS. The Primera Z1, Teac P-11 and SONY dye sub/ thermal printers are all 100% engineered or have print engines that are 100% engineered by ALPS. Both the P-11 and Z1 are 100% engineered by ALPS. Many sony dye sub photo printers are made by ALPS aswell. I opened a SONY DPP-FP30 and the print engine (the mechanics) and the control board were BOTH made and engineered by ALPS and had a ALPS logo on them. The case SONY designed was ENTIRELY engineered around the pre made (off the shelf) ALPS engine and control board.

If you can get a "Primera Z1" for the cost of a P11, why not? Its the same thing made and engineered by the same company, ALPS.

ALPS has been in the thermal and dye sub printer business for nearly a decade. Look at the ALPS MD1000 and MD5000. They uses the same technology and early the identical print engine (but smaller) as the Z1 and P11.

Santill28, do you research in the future before you make stupid comments.
