Tracey,
We have had one of the Seiko dual technology printers in our lab for about a
year. We have had no problems with it and are generally very pleased with
the prints. Very few people actually use the thermal wax, so I don't know
how useful it is.
I don't know about the Fargo printer but would certainly like to hear more
about it if it is comparable to the Seiko for less money.
