I have a continuing search/email trace on ebay for this printer and have seen prices as high as KS level and more recently, down to US$1600, which is still rather high for a printer with such a poor track record.

The Gizmo line of printers look promising, but I was burned with this KS campaign, so I'm not going to invest in that one.

If someone had developed an ideal release surface, do you think this printer becomes viable again?
