Just so people understand Rodney, because posts or topics like this can become misleading, Rob is talking Edge, I believe your thermal machines are Roland? Correct me if I'm wrong.
I was always under the impression Roland thermals were more expensive than Edge, I personally wouldn't compare a Roland thermal printer with an Edge don't think you can compare.
Like I said earlier no pint in getting into pi$$ing contest, but Dave asked about an Edge, if somebody's choice of what they buy is swayed by a few "general" comments it maybe the wrong investment.
I know a signmaker here that has 3 very expensive inkjet machines in the back of his shop collecting dust, become obsolete before they even reached their life expectancy, superceded by more, or better claims of this that and the other, the Edge is small but been around many years now, and still basically sold as it was from the start with a few improvements, that says alot in my book. Granted it no good for large posters in 4 colours or vehicle wraps etc, but for enhancing vehicle livery, and decals, and for proven outdoor durability it great.
Up here we wash and wash vehicle with chemicals all winter to get rid of salt and other unsavoury grime and now in the summer its 24 sunny and Edge work seems to stand up well for printed media.
Go to the different supplier talk about what you want to do and see what fits your pocket and your market.
