Also looking to buy a sheet feed 4 colour offset press

[Cornel]

Hello everone, i'm new to the forum, just starting out in the printing business. Have bought some pre and post press equipment and now concern about buying the right make and model sheet feed offset press, either twice sheet feed 2 colour offset press or a 4 colour sheet feed offset press.

Have been told to stay away from the Quick Master because of the high cost of repairs.
Which make and models are low cost in maintenance and very reliable?

Hi
As per your requirement you can buy sm74 four color press it .
Based in budget you can choose year of manufactur.
You can go with 1998 onwards.
Be sure if have not front back printing (at least 50%of your total job) then do not but perfection machine

Thank you Ashok,
Have my doubts about German machinery, 'expensive to maintain' although they do have over 50% of the sheet feed market.

Is there something more operator friendly?
