Four in-plant managers tell us about their experiences buying a digital press

What would you do differently if you were buying a digital press today?

Karen Meyers: A lot of time and research was put into the decision-making process. The only thing that I would change would have been to decrease the time frame so we could have moved forward and purchased the equipment sooner.

Jimmy Friend: I would spend more time researching the cost of operations and consumables of each of the machines we would be considering. In doing so I would contact current in-plant as well as commercial users of the equipment who do similar type work. I really think it is important that we know the true cost of operation of the equipment, prior to placing it. I've had enough surprises in my career and don't need to add to the list.
