Quickmaster DI operator q

[markovicv1]

We are doing digital printing on Xerox DC250 for some time and I am interested in purchasing used QM DI and I have several basic questions:
Do I need skilled offset machine operator or working with QM can be learned along the way?
What is the price of plates?
What is the price of monthly maintance?
Is it better to purchase DI Pro with 15mio+ or DI Classic with 5mio+ if they are similiar in price?

It is always best to have offset knowledge. but a good small press operator should be able do the job.
plate should be cheaper that $10/plate. call heidelberg about a maintenance agreement but unless you are prone to having things break why bother.

go with the pro model. faster imaging speed. ink, feeder and delivery decluching. feeder will do much better job. get some training and you will be fine.
