    It's a very good solution if you want to put "i have a press" on your business card , but if you want to do print production - it's a NO-GO.
    You will be spending time and money to keep it running and most if the time it will be IDLE.

    When it prints - it prints well , but putting your $$$ on a press that has no spares , no serevice and no future... it's a shame.

    get a real press , even if it is old.
    I had a friend that did not listen to the same advice , he paid & poaid & paid for 3 years and at the end he fell , loosing time money and reputation.
    yes it can print , yes it is cheap to buy , but very high price to keep it running as some times you can wait for weeks to get a part...
    Save your money , do not touch it...

    Meny is right, i call millers "boat ankcors" for just thoughs reasons. I do run an old TP-74 at one shop but they have a spare parts collection thats big! it runs yes, it prints ok yes, it breaks down YES. there are alot of presses to choose from why that brand?
