Just picked up a Foilfast printer for $100.00. Does anyone know if there is a way to get the alps ink to work with it? I believe alps made this printer for Powis Parker. Thanks!

Because Powis isn't making the printer anymore and ink is getting harder and harder to find. Plus the Powis inks are only metallic.

That printer doesn’t use standard ink. It’s a foil tape, not a liquid ink that can be refilled.

Exactly Bill. I got lucky. Printer was brand new. Still in box with original packing. Hopefully ink will be around for a while. Seems the alps cartridges are more readily available.
