Setup cost for traditional presses make them inefficient for small runs.

yup, digital presses are cool, but outside of my technical range. The B&W and Color products that I sold weren't intended for that kind of production environment, back then, the most paper I could load in a color machine was about 2500-3000 pages, and the fastest speed we had was about 16 pages per minute, but that would really be highlight color, not photo type images which would take longer to process (rasterize?), though using RIP-once technology certainly improves the perceived speed for multiples.. My biggest B&W digital copiers/printers could have a throughput speed of 210 pages per minute, but would run out of paper in about 30 minutes on the right print job, and somebody would have to be standing at the finisher, removing the finished jobs almost as fast as humanly possible. Presses made these things look slow
