I am looking for several machines on a small scale - the max size I will ever print/varnish/cut is 17 inches.
Flatbed printer - I'm printing on thick paper - approx 350 - 400gsm. I believe this is my only option for short runs.
UV Varnish - would love to have an inline option, but can't seem to find something on a small scale, so I'm looking for offline.
Cutting/creasing machine - I saw machines on my recent visit to China that were just what I need function wise and size wise, but they are in China and need to be shipped here and then I'd worry about being able to service it/learn how to use it. The closest thing I have found in the US is the Heidelberg Cylinder Press which is of course, a dinosour, anything else small scale out there with similar functionality to the Heidelberg Cylinder Press?
Do you have any small scale machine recommendations?
I'm in California.
Thanks.
