Most folks like the MD5000. I've got a MD1000 that works just beautifully. I use it only for decals, though, so to prolong its life. I'm still running through a serial PCI card using os9.2. If/when I start using osX, I'll have to find a USB converter for it--which they made at one time. (That, or get an osX compatible driver for my PCI card.)

Yes I was/going to make decals on it.
I just wanted to check before I bought!

There is an Alps yahoo group you can go to for help as well. Last I was there, you don't have to be a member to read the posts, just to ask questions. There's another model, the MD1300--which is the "photo quality" version of the MD1000.
If you've got some extra cash lying around, Kodak sells a digital proof printer that is a glorified Alps printer--and uses the same cartridges. I'd rather use my Alps, and spend the rest on trains.

The only extra cash I have might be in the lotto! [:D]
Bad thing is they added that dang speed ball or what ever they call it! [:(]
