>>the last four quarters have been record breaking<<

The last four...teen quarters have been record breaking. Thats right, 14 (at least from a revenue standpoint)!

Good news. The LMTS printers are targeted more towards the Encad PROe printers. I talked to some people at Sentinel Imaging and they don't reccommend either. I also dug up some facts on the potential market for the P5000 which is in the thousands. I figure that they can sell a few hundred this quarter because it is finally being produced at full volume as opposed to last quater when they only shipped a few (but took orders for more). I think that they may have shot themselves in the foot by *demonstrating* 6 color hifi mode. They should offer a free upgrade for current buyers of the P5000, although most may see this as a hassle.

Again, DPI "Product of the Year" and a Seybold "Hotpick" along with the awards from Digital Graphics mag are nothing to turn your nose up at. I am going to be expecting a surge in revenue this quarter despite the strong dollar and seasonal weakness. $16.5 million/$.15 EPS followed by $20 million in the 4th.

I would really like to see RGFX use the P5k engine on a XXL format printer. I think that they could put together a 309 dpi 6 color 16 ft. printer for $150k and take the ENTIRE MARKET. Remember, a 16 ft printer could use all existing electronics and print gear along with some firmware revisions and simply add a larger media transport which doesn't represent a good portion of the cost of the printer.
