It's interesting to see that so many have 8 color manuals as well as 8 color autos.

Presses like the Chameleon are often sold as "proof" presses to be used in conjunction with an auto. Some, in fact, find them a little big and heavy for everyday use.

I did (or was in charge of) sampling of our sim process /multi spot color prints at Disney using a Chameleon. That baby was a monster. We had the two tier 14 color manual press.  I think it was 6 on bottom and 8 on top.

Yes, we've won our share of awards, and yes, I've tested stuff and read the scientific papers, but ultimately take everything I say with more than just a grain of salt! So if you are looking for trouble, just do as I say or even better, do something I said years ago!

no interest in MHM?

nothing against TAS or anybody else, it's just that I am more than a little partial to the MHM . . .
