I have never tested it myself. It belonged to a friend in Virginia who had quite a successful studio going, but did do some RA4 printing in his home basement, where I saw his setup in operation when I visited him there earlier. He had two of these, but really needed just one. Then a neighbor of his happened to be headed to Calif with a UHaul trailer, and put it in there, and I picked it up in Sacramento with my own pickup truck. It looks clean and everything is present, including a manual and a record of maintenance and parts ordered. But you'd still have to know how to set it up and maintain it yourself. It will take up to 20 inch wide paper, but one thing I did not have room to keep was a special wooden table he built allowing 20 inch paper to be carefully aimed at the intake slot, or slid at the same height right into it. There isn't much margin for error, so 20" paper has to be fed in a straight line so the rollers engage properly if you're planning on 20X24 or 20X30 prints. Smaller 16X20 prints are much easier to feed. Logistics : it wouldn't be practical or cost-effective for me to ship, and I can't drive it myself down there at the moment; so someone would have to pick it up here. Think about what is going to be practical for you. I'm retired, but for at least a few more weeks am miserable with shoulder bursitis, and can't lift anything heavy. The unit is under plastic to keep clean and can be taken out the door sideways on a simple handtruck (which I have) and easily lifted into a truck or van bed, preferably by two people to avoid damage risk. Price : I paid $1000 for it; but go ahead and make me an offer if you need to. Say, $800 ? I want it to have a good home where it's needed, but also need a little more wiggle room in that shop space it's stored in. Drew
