All depends on your pricing point? If you want top of the line then look at the Biostar units that Great Lakes sells. If you want units under $500 then go with one of the units from Keystone Dental.

The Machine IV is a great unit.

What's a good machine for adding logos and pics with different layers and without air bubbles in between the sheets?

Biostar is the real deal.

So are there other players other than biostar/mini and erkodent?

Dreve makes one.
We have a ministar here that has been in service for nearly 20 years. Works everytime.

I like what I see with the ministar.

I assume it requires a compressor hookup?

You could use an air tank, assuming you dont have any leaks. My biostar leak somewhere from the bottom half the time, but still stays under pressure with constant air.

There are chinese knockoffs of the erkodent on ebay.. but every once in awhile you might find a biostar under $1000.
Just go here Great lakes Get what you need with videos for every style of applicance and type of material. Its a resource you cant get from other distributors.
