That came out probably a month ago. They ended up cutting it to 40 presses last I heard(at SGIA). MHM's. Talked to a current contract printer of theirs now(12-15 jobs per day he said) and he had no idea. Guess it pays to watch the headlines!

Talked to a current contract printer of theirs now(12-15 jobs per day he said) and he had no idea. Guess it pays to watch the headlines! So the guy just found out from you that he is losing 12-15 jobs a day? WOW! That had to be a kick in the nuts. Hope he didn't buy a new auto just for that customer.If the guys behind it are smart, it has a great chance of being what they want, a 50+million dollar company. If it's a bunch of guys like me, and a few of you yahoos , it will fall hard. I couldn't imagine trying to facilitate all of that once it's up and running. I would think getting the facility up and running will be the easy part. Installing all the autos and ink departments, CTS and dark rooms, screens/mesh, that stuff is easy. Trying to keep it all organized and the logistics in place to keep it efficient sounds like a nightmare. Hell, I can't find 3 guys to work as a team in my production and it's clean, open, efficient and they have all the tools and equipment they could ever wish for. Could you imagine trying to have a team to manage this type of facility? One auto and 3 guys is enough for me to call in quit. I know this isn't unprecedented and there are bigger operations out there, but it doesn't mean it is not a bear to deal with.
