    what size is a pair of pants for a boy ?

    my friend, how can anyone tell you what tostart with if you do not detail what jobs you want to print , what volium, what quantity & quality , and your budget.....???

    you can buy a working press for 300 $ on E-bay or you can buy a 2000000 Euro 12 color +coaterpressfrom the factory , and both can be very good for your bussines....
    but what in fact is your bussines ???

    A realanswer needs tobe based of facts and knowledge , nothing elss.

    Good luck

    You could start off with a small xerox 250 color machine and a 2 color press........with out deep pockets and a customer base you will need A coffee maker, as slush machine, and a lottery ticket dispenser LOL

    That's a little better :)

    So now we all know you are not after 7 color cataloges , nor Books for Museums , not even color magazines.
    For the basic one / 2 color jobs on NCR or plain paper , all you need is a basic press, basic register system , basic dampenning system and nothing ells but a numbering device.

    You can get all that for 200 Euro if you search well for someone who has an old & unused Gestetner or Ryobi , but i would go a little better.

    I would buy a Hamada with numbering & perfurating as your basic press
    I would buy a small but accurate cutter (52 cm no more)
    and a stapling machin.

    You can end up with about 4000 $.

    Will this be good for you to make money or not in your market i do not know , but it is a good answer to your quaestion
