When talking about the 3 to 1 replacement b.s. it means just what I said. if you have been awake during the past twenty years it should be obvious that offset has died and given way to digital. dumb choice but then again this country (US of A ) isn't known for smart management or innovation...

Where are these legendary machines? I have never seen them in forty years of printing. I assume you mean "copiers" you can call them digital or whatever but toner based machines are slow and expensive. Period. And require very little intelligence to operate. That's why they are so popular...

You sound surprised. When corporations control everything the consumers are the cash cows who pay for their crimes.

It's all digital now. I don't even know of a vendor who does negs anymore.

Good idea but I would go with a Presstek DI instead. I mean the certified pre owned units which are Ryobis. No need to get a plate maker since the plates are part of the machine. Very little set up and a whole lot easier than the 3304. I know I will get flamed for the suggestion. But after...

night light is better because it works like it should and you won't print on anything but the paper. Make sure the sensor is clean. It can accumulate a lot of dust because of the location. I run an 8.5 x 11 Classic Linen Epic Black 80# cover with metallic silver every year and it always works.

Try placing a small night light down under the conveyor area. the press can't "see" the paper

Not all change is good. We are programmed to move forward regardless of the outcome.

I can buy all Hamada parts; new not seconds or poor aftermarket. Including electrical. They have been out the U.S. market since ... what? 2009? It depends on the Company. I thought as a rule the standard time length after discontinuation of a product was seven years? Of course with Hamada, they...

LOL Sounds like "Go Daddy" is the actual "terrorist!"

Let's don't go overboard and throw out the whole Constitution because some businesses were inconvenienced. We've lost far too many rights already. And stop calling it "terrorism." Are you watching Faux News or what? terrorism  1. the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce...

Nothing like the smell of fresh spam frying in the morning!

Yeah I don't want to turn this topic into a complete gripe session (could use a stronger word there!) but I have had the unfortunate experience of working in printing all my life and I have seen it all. Why I didn't choose another "career" like running guns or selling meth escapes me (I'm too...

I remember when employees were valued and not treated like a cheap commodity. Without employees, bosses would just be another body in the unemployment line

Keep in mind that the only small press line still in existence to my knowledge is Ryobi. AB Dick is gone. All the Presstek line are Ryobis. Hamada is gone. You can still get parts from Japan but finding tech support is going to be fun. In Phoenix there is NO ONE. Actually Hamada is alive and...
