Hey MrKim

No its the press mate, we have some of the best printers in Australia working for us, even a chap from the US who used to work on the G25. When we moved to ths .4's ( plates ) we dont need packings any more, the .3's + packing was a real problem.
As far as maintenance goes this machine gets the Royal treatment, it is a poorly designed piece of work.The amount of oil it goes through and leaks you could run a small nation on. Australian insurance laws does not allow the fitting of a sump therefore theres always oil / ink build up under the units.
The bend on the plates isnt the best, about 8mm on grip edge / back edge, the grip edge is more prone to cracking, some units more than others. BTW its a 2 unit, 4 colour duplex press, can run 32page Quarto @ 50,000 per hour easy.
Plate size 605 x 985 mm.

Thanks for the feed back mate.
