I bought one last July for €250. But it is from a company in Spain, which is probably not the most convenient for you. I had been looking for stencil printers for several years, but I considered that they were too expensive for our limited use: all were in the €1000 range. Of course, this now means that I buy all my stencils from them since they will send me something that fits the frame. It's €65 a pop, but I typicall put several small boards (and often both sides) on the same stencil, so it stays reasonable. These are laser cut steel stencils, of course. Gabriel
