    Depends on the quality needed and how difficult the job is but for standard work say 5K w/t run (10K imps) 150-200 sheets to get to sellable colour, registered within second pull. if youve got say a 1K imp job obviously youll need to get colour closer before you 'tab it'.

    What is wrong with Roland R300?

    this is very different to what i have expeienced, maybe as i said before it is because ive been running 6 months only or maybe you were unlucky. But just one point you mention the lack of automation could you elaborate on that as i thought for the yr they actually had quite good automation.
