A fairly big printer I work with just upgraded to a new $1.75 million press giving them a ton of print capacity, but it got me thinking as I believe their existing press is only run one shift a day. I thought it would be interesting to post a poll on how many hours/shifts most of you run your process color presses...
 
We run our 2 color Didde web press 18 hours a day and turn out, on average, about 150,000 impressions a day.
