SRoque - Ryonet?

[TCT]

How come they didn't send a picture of mine being loaded on the boat?

Oh....  You must not of heard, one of the cables on the loading crane snapped, sounds like your crate is at the bottom of the port...
Just messing with ya! I probably got pics because I ask for them pretty much weekly!

Wow 38k for a 6 color. Plus flash, shipping and install.

Hmm seriously?  UGH

[Nation03]

Ouch.

So basically at least $45K?  Couple thousand for shipping probably, at least a grand for installation, compressor/chiller and you're printing on a nice machine with good features. I mean that's not the worst I've ever seen but it's certainly not the best.  I got some real doozies for quotes when I was looking and there was a 10/14 press, I won't mention any manufacturers, but I think it was around 140K and it was for a press that has had the same basic design and features for the last 20 years with no significan't upgrades!

That makes it about the most expensive 6 color on the market doesn't it? 

[Socalfmf]

I was thinking the same thing Brandt..

[mk162]

no, I think a playtex will cost you more over the long run.

Well that's true.  LOL

which version of the press? they have three models. I bet if you bought a 6 color Challenger III it would be at least the same or more (just using a CIII as an example of a high end press, not implying anything about it).

I"m not sure why anyone would want a ten color machine with fourteen stations but that price is way way way out of line. I know if I shop around I can get a twelve for less than half that. Loaded too.

They don't make it in a 6 color do they?  I thought it started at a 12 color.

huh, but you don't know that Sroque's equivalent is not available in 6 colors and I am sure if you wanted a 6/12 CIII Rich would make it happen. The question was, which version of the press was this for? Not all presses are in the same price range. $45K for a 6 color Diamondback would be too much, $45K for an Alpha would be a steal!

We had an 8/12 centurian and it had open stations for 2 flash units and it was much more capable than an 8/10 as far as what we could do on it.  It was a true 8 color even with 2 flash units where 8/10's with 2 flashes are only a 6 color.  The first 2 years of my printing career were completely contained inside a shop that did everything on an 8/12 and I hadn't really seen many of the other machines or shops at that point.  There was a brief time where I thought all presses had 2 open print heads for flashes

Right, but comparing the price of a "custom" offering may not give you the best apples to apples pricing wise.  But I get what you are trying to say.  Was just pointing out they dont make a 6 color CHIII that I know of.
