Also, matching very light shades of any colour is a serious challenge for CMYK offset, "white" shades are extra difficult if not impossible to match. Compounded by paper textures makes this route hopeless in your situation if your customers are picky.

Do you also need a motor?

BTW, I believe this item is suitable to all the loading systems up to V2. Later 800 models had different loading systems.

Experience and basic knowledge is sorely needed at the customer's end too. But it must also be taken into account that a typical pressman, running a multi-million dollar monster, will generally try to get a fast approval, even if he knows that the sheet he pulled out is "not yet there"...

A test print prior to production is a very good idea. If you aim high - it is mandatory, IMHO. It should be done on the same stock and on the same press as your actual printing. Start by having the press operator print some sheets with the machine set up as "normal" as possible. Make sure they...

Try taking the old fashioned route, ask the printers if they can guarantee a 90-95% match to a hard copy proof produced at their shop (or by someone they regularly works with). If the do, that will be your stating point. Once you have the proofs and they meet your approval, go and supervise the...
