for the deduction to qualify, the equipment has to be in operation before the end of the year. Just paying for it is not enough.pierre
umm, I am thinking a new press is overkill. Personally, I would get a good used to possibly rebuilt press. If I did this, I would go M&R all the way unless you found a good deal on an MHM. M&R's are durable and can be found easily. Get a late 90's-early 2000's Gaunlet and you will be happy...best of all you can find 6 colors for under $10k, most of the time with a compressor thrown in.
First time user should start with a new press. The struggle to figure out if it's him or the press might be enough to throw in the towel. When going with a new press at least you know the problem is on the operator side rather than the press. If buying used (for a first press) I would say at most six months worth of use on it.pierre
