Hello everyone.
I am new here and I work for an international printer manufacturer. We design and build 4 color printers and pre-press machines, including CTP. Recently at one of our meetings, the question was posed "What do our customers want?" While this seemed like a silly question, the reason behind it is that we are focused on the small and mid-sized print shops as our primary customer base and we want to build the machines that will do what the customers need done. We've been in business for almost 20 years now - so we are not a start-up company or a flash in the pan.

Simply put - What would be an ideal machine for your business? Do you need a printer that reads certain software, does a certain output quantity, press compatible or stand alone, etc...

If you could build the perfect machine - or at least describe it - what features are valuable?

Thanks,
Dave
