Looking to Buy Newspapers:

Newspapers/Shops for Sale:

- We are about to accept delivery of a new metal Direct to Plate system and have a Select Set Avantra 30 Imagesetter and Processor for Sale. It can come with a RIP 5.5r1A system and dongle with the computer that powers it. It can currently be seen in operation until new system is installed, thereafter it will be disconnected. Price $15,000. We tried to buy another one as a backup for ours and could never find any for under $20,000 so we opted for the other type of system period.

We also have the entire old system which this system had replaced. These items all worked fine when replaced by the Avantra which can do either film or polyester plates and are to some degree negotiable:

Glunz & Jenson Film Processor $2000

Roconex Plate Processor  $1000

NuArc double sided plate processor  $3000

Line camera for people who still aren't electronic in any way. $1000

Linotronic Imagesetter $1000

Call Marlon Hanson at 214-563-4039, David Hanson at 469-285-0471 or Alex Hanson at 214-680-1075 to discuss examining or purchasing.
