“...Of course I try to match job size most conducive to the press to maximize efficiency and costs, but a shop’s integrity is more important than the equipment they operate.”
Another professional with nearly 30 years’ experience votes “yes” for the list, as well. Linda Basnik is the production manager for Rotary International near Chicago. Does she rely on the list? “Absolutely! I use the equipment list as the first filter. I know which piece of equipment will print my job most cost-effectively and whether or not it is a digital or conventional job. Part of my responsibilities includes sourcing international printers for regional usage. I have learned that, although language and terminology may be different, the presses are the same! Sourcing by press in the fastest way for me to determine who is a good fit for my jobs.”
