thanks for the replies. cambridgeworld has it listed but they don't have it in stock. the fujimoto website doesn't appear to be operative. i don't know when these units were discontinued; i thought they were of fairly recent vintage.
i have googled until i am blue in the face but nothing else comes up and i have never seen one on ebay or any other site. i will query dave smith. i will be printing from the roll paper magazines from a durst acs 6000. maybe it will have to be done by hand, in the dark, as you suggest, as a last resort. thanks.
