Pierre, It is my understanding that the scratching problems you refer to are infrequent and are basically eliminated with "good housekeeping".....There are a number of these positive references on the LHUG forum and in E-Mail responses received from QMDI owners that correspond with me. Generally, it is the brand new users who are aquainting themselves with the press that are experiencing occasional scratching with a plate. After familiarizing with their new press system, they have found ways to virtually eliminate this problem.

Your reference to "plate scratching" has in some ways given members of this forum the impression that the digital plate from Presstek is defective or lacking in that it could scratch.....This is not so.

Also, the wait time from order to delivery of a Quickmaster in the US and overseas is 6 - 7 months, even taking into account the increase in production by Heidelberg and the training of special dedicated QMDI install teams. The backlog still continues! Nice full page adds in printing magazines referring to the Pring-97 showing of the QM.

In the prior post by Bill Fuller...post 5466, reference was made to the 74 Karat from Scitex....This is a Presstek product.

"Tribute also highlighted Scitex America Corp.'s highly automated 74 Karat, a combination digital and offset press, due in late 1998. Intended for short- and medium-run jobs, the 74 Karat is a waterless, CMYK offset press that will output pages measuring up to 20.5 by 29 inches at run rates of up to 10,000 sheets per hour."
