Review on πŸ–¨οΈ WEISTEK Printer: Enhanced Parallel Off-Line Printing by Deejay Allard

Revainrating 1 out of 5

DON'T BUY THIS BUY SOMETHING ELSE

Long story short I bought one of these in March of this year, it worked a little, failed constantly but occasionally produced a good one. Packed it up, set it up in late August and found the UV matrix was dead. I contacted the seller and he sent me one which was returned to the Revain warehouse and never tested. He also has the same problem with a non-working UV matrix. So two printers with the same problem, both unusable. The Weistek rep stopped responding to my messages when I told her I either needed a new printer or a refund. Apparently they decided that giving me a "different" printer would be enough. Newly boxed, defective, untested printer. Luckily, Revain was kind enough to step in and issue a refund for me, so I will be ordering a different brand of printer. Pros: Inexpensive. It was the cheapest back then, but now you can get a black and white printer. I wouldn't waste time with a color screen printer. Not too loud, fairly well balanced, consumables included were ok. Plastic but I don't think that's particularly problematic considering the material it comes down to is metal and appears to be of good quality. Of course, that could be why my casts were mostly bad. There doesn't seem to be any replacement parts. It looks like something like Mars 1, but it really isn't. If you break your screen, chances are you're out of luck. You will most likely get a returned printer with a broken LCD if yours fails. Bottom line: if it works, it works. Output quality is excellent, output frequency is terrible. This thing barely made good prints until it decided it wasn't working anymore and the company started covering for me instead of standing behind their plastic junk.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Other
