We use the Horizon 01 and 02 series. Can't keep their marketing names straight. What I did like on the new platforms is the gbx imports- makes setting up the 2D positions a lot easier than the original interface. We have five Deks in house and they perform well. Several years back they did a head to head with MPM UP-3000 machines but settled on Dek for better bridge and paste smear detection with vision system.

I know little about printers yet am being asked for my input. so I look to those of you who know more than me. What is the general consensus of the DEK printers and this one in particular if possible. Things we should be looking for or staying away from? Questions we need to be asking, or other vendors preferred? how about DEK's customer service, parts availability, pricing, general reliability and ease of use? Any input is appreciated.
