Anyone have any experience with this press? Apparently it's a litho-digital press, the plates are imaged right from rip to the press. Our owners might be buying one. We're wondering about the cost of a new one, I found a 3 year old online for about 200,000 U.S. Seems like a lot!

I ran a Heidi DI that is quite similar to the presstek (think Heidi sold them the tech). Needs waterless inks, special plates that scratch easily but it is easy to run and a good operator can get quality off of it.
Speed doesn't kill, rapidly becoming stationary is the problem

I'd rather have stories told than be telling stories of what I could have done.

We've got one. Not bad. The only thing that bugs me about it is its gripper, its hidden gripper--annoying.

what the hell is up with that hidden gripper?
Never could figure out why they did that.

Kind of a Heidi thing - now you see it and now you don't. 10 mm I believe is the size from long ago. Took a bit of remindin' to do off center w/tumble forms. Overall the Presstek was solid but we had the Heidi flavour. Lots of week to week maintainance that no one wanted to do.
