Sorry for the confusion it was a force of habit to refer to 48. Hope this helps!

Trying to print multi-color pieces on a single color press can prove challenging as you try to register each color on the pages.<br /> <br /> b) How many pages are you thinking your magazine would be? <br /> <br /> And now to provide some insight to your questions:<br /> <br /> 1) There are any number of ways to approach this - the big factor is going to be budget. You could find an old AB Dick (now Presstek) small-format press for $1000-$2000. Better models are available once you get into the $3k range. <br /> <br /> 2) With the increasing presence of digital black/white and full-color presses, some of which have book-binding capability built in, it may be more cost-effective to find a print provider that has this type of equipment. Otherwise, you'll need to have all of the following:<br /> a) Some means of making printing plates - with AB Dick models, paper printing plates are available that can be made relatively cheaply. I don't remember a lot of specifics about how to make those plates.<br /> b) A press. The press will need rollers, ink, blankets, fountain solution, wash-up solvents, etc.<br /> c) Some sort of finishing solution - if you wanted to make saddle-stitched (magazine-style) booklets, you'd need a stitcher of some sort. If you were willing to feed manually, you could get a decent manual stitcher for a couple thousand dollars. You would also need a folder to fold all of the sheets in half (tabletop one for a couple thousand dollars would be fine).<br /> <br /> 3) A copying device with a bookletmaker is going to run tens of thousands of dollars, and can easily run over $100k.<br /> <br /> Hopefully that'll be a start for you. I've been working in large commercial print shops for a few years, so I may not have referenced the most economical components for this type of operation, but I think it's a pretty reasonable ballpark - anyone else with more small-format experience is welcome to shoot me down. <br /> <br /> Good luck!
