Wardie, 
We are going to do just that. If we are invited again next year we plan
on bringing a 3000 and at least 1 Large format, probably a 9000. We
might have acces to a few others, we are already dicussing the
posibility of bringing an Iris and a Print-Maker FA. We have customers
in the New Orleans area with both of these printers and both of them
have shown some interest in renting them out to us. 
I would really like to bring a PM.FA, because of the way our one print
done on that machine, at this years show, was done so badly. Ideally we
would like to bring about 6 3000's and have different ink sets running
in all of them. However, that is probably just a pipe dream. The one
3000 we definetly bring, will be running lysonic ink most likely. The
9000 will probably be running a archival ink also.
