what a horrible design this machine was, if i remember the ink duct was down the bottom of the machine. a nightmare to operate! bullet proof but not user friendly

Tim replies:

"The ink fountain at the bottom of the machine

is awkward, but tolerable. A bigger issue is that many (actually, most) of the ink rollers are inaccessible, most of the time.

"That said, I've never had an opportunity to run a more solidly-built offset press."

I learned printing on this machine (but I was really small) and it was hard to get paper in the feeder above. Good machine tough

Yes Tim you are one of those masters that can print four color with one color machine. BTW I was born in 1970 when your machine was built.

I think he just confuses some veiwers by running a book.
