I mentioned DCS in a recent posting.
I have now been in touch with Stuart Jones who writes:-
Thanks for your message, I will check the toner site, it does not contain
much yet but we start work on a better one on Oct 1st when my new marketing
assistant arrives !
Even the current one should work,otherwise it is useless - back asap on
this.
Latest info will also be a feature of the new man's job, you should get a
monthly news letter from late Oct via email.
Now for the news -
1. New toners were released last week after extensive R&D and proving
trials.
We have a completely new Magenta set with full flux content and glossy in
their own right. These can be used with clear covercoat and so the flux halo
is a thing of the past. New polymers have also been selected, giving greatly
improved burn out characteristics and in turn greater tolerance to kiln
cycles.
1a. Clear covercoat is available for this set.
2. We also have a new more saturated red which will be released in the next
2
weeks.
Fully fluxed red set needs a little more work but the base colour is under
test and hopefully will become toner over the next 4-6 weeks.
3. R&D towards industrial scale up continues and will be reported at
appropriate times in the forthcoming news bulletins.
4. When we have our new webb site in place we will encourage a Webbs Cottage
style forum (he really means a Clayart style forum!) to exchange
experiences/ problems and opportunities.
5. We will also start to put together an official Franchise Package over the
next 6 months.
6. The use of the system is growing with more systems sold in the UK,
Germany,Portugal, Bulgaria, Rumania, Australia and several new countries are
showing interest from the Far East to the Far West !
The revolution gathers pace !!
I will get back to you asap re the webb problem and hope to be in more
regular contact in future,
Best regards
Stuart Jones Sjonesdcs@aol.com
Close quote.
I think this is exciting news and I will try to keep Clayart members aware
of developments. I should be going to Stoke in November, so I hope to meet
Stuart and see what has happened to the web site etc.
