I hate to think it. It's been since 2003 that I got the machine to make my laserplates for my Hamada 700 printing press. It was used at that time. I really don't know how old it really is. But my print shop is gone after 31 years, and now I'm a realtor. Nobody needs print shops any more. The old HP could still be handy to me, but it just has too many problems. I could conceivably rebuild it and fix all its problems, but the death knell seems to be the plastic case--it literally falls to pieces that can't be glued. Just touching it makes something else break. Why did HP use such sorry plastic on such a good machine? It really breaks my heart to pick this thing up and go throw it in the dumpster. But I'm afraid its just too far gone.
