Thanks all for the advice so far. I'm definitely considering the 4C & the TP9-U. I've also seen a Zeva 575, Philips Eclipse, & Juki 720. These seem to be a little more expensive. Any feedback on these machines - is the extra expense worth it? How e

We have had VERY GOOD free tech support from Mydata. However, we bought a refurbished TP9 directly from them. I believe if you by a used MyData machine from someone else there is a fee to register your company and the machine in their system before

That AP can paste 0201's and has built in 2D. I would keep it. The AP series "forcers and platens" design is a bit fragile, but reliable and tends to last a long time. My biggest complaint is the cheap air hoses to the 3 forcers. After about 8 ye
