They went up through almost every supplier including Xante themselves. The reasoning is supplies are coming from China, and with the new tariffs in place with China the cost to ship supplies over increased. They had something up on their website earlier in the year, and my supplier just sent me the letter with my last order (I've attached).

I just got a huge increase on supplies for Xante and I am running 2 machines all of the time.
Did anyone else get these?
Does anyone else know a online source?
Thanks
