I'm a senior at a technical high school this year, and I believe the Press I run is an AB Dick 9850......maybe not its 98 something hahaha. I really hope this isn't a dying trade becuase I love what I do and enjoy running that press Because its very tempermental and seems to have grown to like me over everyone else

[nospa21]

Nice one.Thank you.

bet it took a week to fill up the delivery tray..keeps you busy but like the others say i would be looking for a new job if my boss saw me running that slow..but to be honest folks it is a small machine and it wouldnt run that much faster anyway

[nospa21]

I own the shop and b) it is small and old machine. it will go faster but there is no reason to do so;)

Looks like a 9810.

[nospa21]

It is!

THE AB DICK 360 IS THE BEST DUPLICATOR EVER BUILT.................

[Selectrolux]

I like this video. I'm not a printer, but...I own an AB Dick Spirit Duplicator--one of the small-scale duplicators used in schools and churches. I have always been fascinated with those machines...and recently I took two broken machines and built one fully functional machine. The mechanical ingenuity, as well as the speed of these machines just puts me in awe.

@floridasurfer08 durn right on that!!!

@madjimms Don't think I haven't thought about it, and then thought about sitting in prison for a mandatory 20 year federal sentence. When I was young I had the guts but no skill, now that I'm old, got the skill but no guts, Go figure! And I am a great Printer too, I could pull it off If I wanted to , just don't want to. I never felt a great need to go around and cheat anyone.

@floridasurfer08 Darn right, it's us old Printer's who set the standard, now you got to live up to it. Sorry but we did set the bar.

[pjgumby]

@hopdoehop I still do that, did it today, made over 80 impressions , on a good day can do up to 1000,00. Not too bad for an old Printer. Can run circles around you young snots!

@nospa21 Let's face it a ABDick is a small press that doesn't revolve real fast. As a Printer who has operated Multi's all my working life, I do have to say I prefer a Multi. It's the mustang of the small presses, got to admit that. I am now working in a shop that only has AB's , don't get me wrong, get paid real well, glad to have a job, but I swear, ain't nothing like a 1650 going full boar with a THead. A sight to see, and a sound like thunder! Miss it, but AB's are good too, it pays my rent.

[pjgumby]

This video is misleading because I am the best Printer in the world for over 35 years. I have operated 1250's 1850's, 14 and 1650's Multi's with T Heads, Operated the old TCS Electrostatic System, You know the one's that was totally automated that shot the plate right up to the plate clamp, (a long time ago you puppies) I have seen all the changes to printing to this day. The only difference is I know everything too, but I know all the old stuff too. I WIN!!!

[hopdoehop]

heck last little press shop i worked in the boss expected me to

run two presses at twice this speed

[floridasurfer08]

I was thinking the same thing my boss would kick my ass for running that slow.
