Upgrade for Akaba New Concept owners - $99.00.
New Akaba HD purchases - $249.00.

Smart Edit Finale
|
As of the fourth quarter, MacroSystem AG in Germany, will no longer support or sell any of the Smart Edit products. Because of this we will soon discontinue selling Smart Edit software. Our support, however, will continue for these products.
This is for machines running Smart Edit software, including the Avio, Kron, Claro, Solitare, Renommee, Gymnos, and Prestige machines.
Because of this change, we are having one final huge software sale. All Smart Edit software will be discounted by 55% at the retail level. This offer isn't to be combined with any other specials or discounts.
For this final sale, we're also going to offer the Complete Software Package (excludes OS and CB Paint) for $1599 retail.
This sale is from today until November 13th.
The annual fall software sale will begin shortly thereafter, and will be specifically for Bogart machines.
