Imagine an RMGT 970PF-8 (4/4 or 8/0) capable of delivering large-format performance while occupying significantly less space than a competitor's 640-series press. Imagine, too, being able to purchase it at a price close to that of a 640-series machine. Ask yourself: which Heidelberg, KBA, or Komori press can truly keep pace with the 30,000 sheets-per-hour output of the RMGT 970 series? The RMGT 970PF-8 (4/4 or 8/0) takes productivity to a new level: it can print an 8-color, 250-sheet job in under 4 minutes! It is not just about speed. It is about reducing the footprint, boosting productivity, and achieving large-format performance with a highly competitive investment. The price difference is not significant when compared to a machine offering similar performance—but that is only the beginning of the calculation.

Maintenance, long-term reliability, and resale value: every factor varies depending on the machine type, and the final difference often far exceeds the initial purchase price gap.

This is a decision best made based on hard data rather than gut feeling. We want to compare the two worlds—straight printing versus perfecting in a single pass—and provide you with the tools to decide what truly makes sense for your specific operational needs.

*Reliability: the real risk lies in DIY maintenance

Having at least one annual service check performed is the deciding factor between a smart purchase and a potential disaster. It is non-negotiable: this is one of the very first checks we perform ourselves when inspecting machines prior to acquisition or purchase.

*Resale value: the factor that changes the final calculation

When it comes to resale value, a modern machine with a verified service history comes out on top—offering superior performance and greater cost-efficiency regarding both operating expenses and print production costs.
