When I do the math for people about running a 16 page perfecting sig at 10,000 sph (our prefered speed, although the 8 and CD can go 15K), they are impressed with 160,000 pages an hour! Then I compare to a 6 x 9 32 page sig.... Of course, our Harris web can blow any sheetfed out of the water without even blinking. Docutechs can't even begin to compete. It's interesting reading the chatter about film and digi, yet the work horses of the print industry are really quite mechanical. Yes, CTP and CPC units make the setup and QC easier, but walk into a commercial offset shop running all presses at full bore, and that's the sound of money being made! (as opposed to being printed, but that's not our niche....) - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
