For a "specialty" feature that no one else is offering in this price range, how about a clear gloss toner and drum so with an Illumina printer small print shops could simply swap in the "clearcoat" drum and toner catridge and run the prints through for a second pass to apply a clear high-gloss perfectly uniform finish. The Illumina would allow me to short run postcards for example, but the finish still isn't as good as the results from outsorcing to a press that has uv glossing capeability. Ane I believe Kodak's standalone nexglosser costs more than two illuminas, as does a standalone uv coater or laminator, not to mention the extra floor space required. Why not simply a swap in gloss no-pigment toner and drum (wih no pigment in the start toner/developer). This could provide a $1000 gloss option that would make the printer be able to produce output with a finish quality unmatched by any printer in this or 5x this price class in uniformity and high gloss!

Another option for toner, if you are trying to cut your expenses, is iPrint Technologies based out of California. They offer free shipping and do have the C9200 toner for under $400, free shipping. Whatever you need, they can get it for you. They also sent me a free 3lb bag of M&M's. Damien is my rep and can be reached at 888 700 2345 ext. 7419. He is great to work with and will take good care of you, plus you get a big bag of free M&M's with every order. www.iprinttechnologies.com

There is a company in St. Louis called Pavyer that carries Xante, they carry all parts needed for the Ilumina. You can find their information on their website.
