    Who has a flatbed - Kern?

    We're seriously considering buying one, and I was wondering if any of you who own one might be willing to answer some questions.

    If you have one, please let me know. Would love to chat.

    Jay,

    No, at least not the one we have. We use it to print on flat substrate up to 64" wide. That's not to say that there isn't a flatbed out there that is capable of doing that though.

    We decided on the 150 watt. Wish we could have gotten the 400. They say hindsight is 50/50
