Looking at a Roland 55 2008, need advice

[JFB]

Hello,

I am looking at a Roland 55 2008 - anyone has any experience with this machine ?
I will be running short runs of anything from 350gsm to 80gsm paper.
Any problems I should be aware of?
What would be the price range for a low impression and clean machine?
I can't find any reference online.
Thank you.

Buying any 15 year old digital printer isn’t likely to be a smooth ride. Even where the machine is in good condition with low mileage, availability of parts and support coupled with driver availability & compatibility with current operating systems can all represent hurdles.

Hi,

This is an offset sheet fed machine, not digital.
