Thermal printer

hey all; i’m looking to upgrade my thermal printer and wondering what everyone here is using.

I own my own solo studio so I’ll be purchasing this on my own, so I’m looking for something less than $1,000 CAD but isn’t going to fuck up and kick the bucket in a year.

Anyone have experience using the S8 printers? Cant find Brother pocket jets anywhere, and every tattoo supply I look around at in Canada has the cheap printers you can find on Amazon that I wouldn’t trust.

Also open to hearing from folks using ink jet or other options

Thanks!
