Yeah you can upgrade from your DJ500 (or other DJ's) to a DJ500C. Cost
will be $495 for a DJ500. Mail it to nearest full service center and they
send you an upgraded printer back in about two weeks. (I upgraded my orig
DJ to a DJ500 this way, and it works great)
Call this phone number to get an official 'coupon' authorizing the upgrade,
and your nearest service center: 800-752-0900. You don't pay until you
send the printer in, so you may as well request the coupon if you're
considering it.
On the otherhand, the cost of the DJ500-C will be just $695 at my local
computer dealer. So, I can upgrade for $500, or get a whole new printer
for just $200 more…. hmmm… ie. if you can sell your old DJ500 for over
200 or so, you may as well do so and get a new printer 🙂 (check your
local prices, of course!)
