Hi,
We are a small company doing Graphic design and litho printing (mostly on a Speedmaster SM52-2).
Since we are located in a small town with no specialized market we virtually print everything from one or two colors envelopes and pads to 4color booklets, post cards and high volume catalogs. (We Outsourcing the last).
As you may realise the run lenghts varies as well. From 500 to 15000. In some rare cases even more such as 30000 or 40000
We are considering of buying a new press and we 've been thiking of Presstek 52DI.
1. My *main* question is if the DI is fitted to produce all the work that currentlly our Speedmaster produce or its only profitable for four color work.
2. With the speedmaster we do have a lot of problems as far as the drying problems are concerned. Is the DI52 (IR supported) a solution to that?
3. The speedmaster has a good feeder (at least in my opinion..) What would be the case for the DI52 ?
4. We use Sontara Jumbo Rolls for the autowash system of the speedmaster. Is that possible the DI52 blanket wash system?
5. The presstek guy here in Greece told that the machine has a plate cleaner roll as well. What is that?
6. I know that if we buy the machine we have to buy only Presstek plates. What is the case as far as the other consumables are concerned such as blankets or rollers
Sorry for being so long. I would appreciate if someone could give me some advice.
