hybridbloke what do you think of the 6000 is it a good press, pleased you like the 6500, but we are looking at the 6000 and keen to know if it is living up to your expectations.

Thanks. I didn't give then the most perfect of conditioned stocks, but like I said my el cheapo Canon C1+ handles the stock just as I gave it to them so I expect at least a comparable result. We get some trouble with cold and or damp stocks, but its currently bone dry and 31 deg (Celsius) so...

Thanks. I have not been offered the C1060, I am assuming that there isn't one available or that it is too expensive. We are growing our digital print turn over for sure but I think that we are still too small to make too much of a jump. Thinking ahead though if Konica have even better machines...

I am looking into this EXACT! scenario. A 6501, KM 6000 or a Fuji 700. What is the quality of the prints off these presses? In particular I want to use offset stocks NOT digital unless I have too. I have seen some samples from off the 700 and the solids were patchy and uneven... excuses were...

The Ryobi 3304 looks a ok press for full colour. You will need to carefully understand roller settings with any offset, the 3304 looks like it has the same feeder as the two colour Ryobi I used to run, this is not the best feeder but if your used to the slight variances found in digital prints...

Ret's manual has covered the main points I am looking for, thanks Ret, but if anyone has the official operators manual available that would possibly give that little more detail and insight. Ret's book certainly covers what I was most worried about for sure.. I don't need the technical one, and...

Thankn you Ret !! You are now a legend! Thank you Sooo Much. This will help immensely!! I wish I could meet you in person to convey what this means to myself and my wife. I have been a tradesman for 25+ years and I have never been so pleased in my life to see an operations manual... If you...

Lukew Thank you for your input, You are 100% right and everything that you have suggested I had already done, minus putting together a portfolio. I have been very upfront and the chap actually knows myself very well and my situation so everything is open. Despite that I am in with a chance of...

Hi Ret Thank you for taking the time to reply. Unfortunately I don't yet run the SM 52, I actually need a copy only to learn the basics from for an appointment that is critical for our family, that takes place in only a few days. I mainly require the copy of the control panel and an explanation...

The machine is not on sight. I am travelling two hours there and two back while I shut up my current shop for the whole day (sole operator) to test the machine next week. The current operator in that town will be there which will help show me the ropes, but I need to be up to speed more than I...

Is anyone able to help in regards to the Heidelberg SM 52? I am about to do a press test on a Heidelberg SM 52 and although I have used similar systems as found on this press while running Rolland's I have never run a SM 52 before. I want to read up as much as I can before I go next week for...

My thoughts exactly. Kids cnat spowl deez da'z unlez its n text langwidg... and forget about proof reading just hit the send button!

Awesome, historical. It amaises me how efficient the old methods were, pumping out books that fast. Check out this link for the latest machine version. Kolbus Inline Book Production 30 cycles/min | BF 512 - YouTube Then count the differences you see.. the biggest is ....where the hang are the...

Print Dog has a good Point... I had forgotten about that..

Gatch might have something there. Not a long term solution but it might work. Esp if your Ryobi has "auto" impression. Auto impression simply means that the machine is so lite that they let the whole units weight fall onto the blanket to try and get some semblance of a true "Impression"...
