My printer was one of the first UM2's made. I had to wait about 6 months for it to arrive. There were a lot of issues at that time which I assume have been corrected for the latest models. My guess is you can get a printer today for a fraction of what I paid that will outperform the one I have. I will keep using mine until it explodes. Maybe by that time I can get a laser/metal one affordably.
