Well yes value is completely relative to the use. I bought my press new in
1990 and have done an awful lot of custom printing since then. I often need to
get prints flattened and packaged quickly first thing in the day. Over the 18
years of owning the drymount press how many prints have I flattened with it.
It is frightening to do the math. Just this morning I needed to flatten 30
prints. I would guess I have done something like 20 thousand prints with it.
How much would that have cost in blotter paper and waiting an extra couple of
days? For me the probable couple hundred dollars I spent on the press is well
worth it. But I can see in lots of cases it might not be worth just giving up
the counter space to.
