Manual printers, listen up! You all have terrible printing habits. I bet you’re thinking, “What does this have to do with picking out the right press configuration for your automatic?” But the question I’m getting at is: How many of you flash between every color?

Let’s assume your ROQ automatic press is installed, and you’re itching to start printing.
