ive used itek and ryobi for 16 years they can be a great versatile press , they are great for small intricate jobs, but would prefer to run a speedmaster!
I run a sister machine to this, the Itek 3985. (Its a arly 90's model) We just moved the shop, and my Itek was deopped on its side by the movers! A 19 yo worker for the movers was pinned under it !! Its a Heavy machine! After gettin it upright, (the covers are shot) It still runs like the champ it is! No more 4 color though!
I ran this same type of machine for a few years, it's the greatest tiny offset machine, a big step up from say an AB-Dick, but still a long ways off from a larger press such as the Ryobi 582 that the shop I worked in has.
The hardest thing I ever did on this machine was a 4 color process envelope... Constantly tweaking the in-feed rollers and adjusting the push guide, what a nightmare!

This IS the Itek version. The Ryobi is blue and cream colored.
The 3302/3985 and AB Dick 9985 are all the same machine.
Great little work horse!
