Just recieved my new Rapier 2... I used Neumas when they first came out and sold them very quickly, honestly I wasn't expecting much outta the Rapier 2. What a fantastic machine!!! I've used it three times now with color, twice for black and grey and lined once with it. It packs like a dream but somehow his soft enough for some smooth as butter black and grey. I didnt like it to line with because of the lack of weight but have really enjoyed using this machine... I you haven't yet go pick one up... Will defiantly be ordering more in the future!!
