    Presses come and go.

    I see the same or similar problem for small commercial printers and quick printers...there are not any options for new duplicator/offset presses in the US other than a couple of Ryobi models & one Baum (formerly built by Heidelberg)...Hamada, Toko, Multilith, Chief, Gestetner and others have all...

    Which type of offset press can print the highest resolution

    I agree with Alibryan to some extent. Presses with bearers generally are known for better quality in that the cylinders don't have the force exerted on them with coming out of the cylinder gap, where with duplicator type presses you don't have that and can get a bouncing effect around the...

    What would you charge for this job?

    First, that postage sounds low even at non profit automated barcode rate, 2nd price this job with some trusted trade vendors and mark it up 30% (take the wholesale price and divide it by .3), this would be the absolute minimum for a starting point. Then consider the turnaround, the quality, is...

    Standard ink densities?

    I agree with Larry in that you should be running to gray balance, in other words calibrate your plates to linear (25%=25, 50%=50 etc) then run test strip on press and measure your dot gain, create a curve in your rip with your recorded values, retest on press and tweak until your cmy gray...

So my question is...

    i have an Epson 7600 which I am experimenting with. I have not used the G&J conversion kit. A printer friend of mine in Indiana was using the VIM system with a 4880 and running 4 color work on a Ryobi 3304, I was very impressed with it. I have been using a DPX Genesis that I picked up at an...

    polijet

    The biggest problem I think is that there is a very small percentage of offset printers out there that are even aware of what inkjet CTP is, much less the quality that can be achieved, the much lower cost for both the equipment, consumables and production time for plate making. I have asked...
