Re: [BKARTS] The Espress Book Machine

[Tom Trusky <ttrusky@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Two concerns:

1.  When I click on the URL in Jules' message I get nowhere.  Is it my
breath?

2.  My understanding is that this machine can print four-color
covers--but only b&w textblocks.

right, afford it.  i was looking at a certain industrial ink jet
thinking,
this thing is probably 25g, and i'm in a 5 g mood.  125g. so 50 isn't
that
bad.  but kind of interesting, here on the "i made it myself "  book
place.  if you have to know, i might find it fun to own this machine,
but
the book product itself - i'd take - and love to own - any number of
hand
made books from this list before showing any interst in the output of
this
machine.

enjoy
