does it come standard with laser placement?  someone told me it did, but I never heard that when I was going to get one.

I spent an hour around this machine yesterday and I'm going to start a thread on Monday about all of the machines I saw but I will say this about the G3:  It's a FREAKING MONSTER!!!  You set that thing up in your shop and you never move it, you just put 30 million imprints on it and maintain it properly and you're good.  My thoughts were that if the Ft. Worth Convention Center were hit with an airstrike yesterday, the only thing that would still be running is the G3.  It's a tank, with a great operating system that will do everything you'd ever want in an auto.  It's hard to describe, it was a 12/14 so obviously it was larger than the other 6, 8 and 10 color machines that were at the show, but it looks like if it got hungry, it would go swallow the other machines whole then crap out the pieces in the corner.  The screen holders could be taken off and used to smash the other machines into a mangled pile of metal.  Not that the Gauntlet II was light in the loafers (will always be one of the best they ever made) or the other presses were any less impressive in what they did, but this is a serious machine, for serious shops and if you're not one of those then you probably don't deserve to own it.  Artsy Fartsy print shops need not apply, they will be too scared to be in the same room with the G3.
