New Melco 4 head?

[Impressions Embroidered Apparel]

Hi,

I heard there is a new Melco 4 head machine that is portable. Anyone know more about it? Is it fast, price, etc.

Thanks,
Steve

Steve, Steve, Steve,

It's a 4 NEEDLE Machine.....not a 4 Head machine!

It's called the EP-4. Call Melco for the price.

HMMMN. I like the idea of a portable 4 head machine though, that would be some feat of engineering!

I don't think the EP-4 is meant to be a "commercial" machine in the sense that the Amaya is. I think it is a competitor of the home embroidery machines that sew with only one needle. It is restricted on hoops from what I have seen and doesn't have a cap drive. I wonder how the warranty reads--my Viking Designer 1 warranty said that if it were used for commercial use, it was void.
