That surprises me a bit Scott as I've found the opposite to be
true....thicker than about 18 micron canvas is a crap shoot on the
DTP70 but the iSis seems to handle the thicker materials just fine.
I think one key is the fact that the iSis has a more "positive" feed
mechanism (heavy stainless rollers riding on the media and drive
rollers) while the DTP70's feed mechanism seems to built poorly,
especially the top "rollers" with their flimsy spring mechanism.
I agree about the iSis's improved feed mechanism - its much better on
slick materials than can slip on the 70. The 70 requires "babysitting"
during measurement for sure. But the 70's silly spring loaded approach
allows it to take on thicker materials than the iSis can dream of.
Now, many people (especially those in prepress) won't ever see the
really thick materials that fine art inkjet printmakers often deal
with. 18 micron thicknesses? I regularly see and measure 457 to 787
micron thickness (16-31 mil) products that get even thicker with
lamination. The creator of the iSis, Mario Offermann, told me it was
never intended it to be used with such materials. The iO table was
intended for thicker materials but for someone who who is on the road
constantly, the portability and versatility of the DTP70 is nice, at
least for now.
Seems like the iSis could be updated for thicker media support. That
and smaller headers and footers would make it more attractive for my
business. Cheers.
