I understand that Lutz units are well made and do a good job. However, it requires the removal of the ink roller arms on a Heidelberg since these are side draw units, thus no inking ability—only foiling, die cutting, and embossing. Lutz is still in business in Arizona though they started many years ago in Brooklyn. Lutz also has original patterns from C&P but for which of the C&P presses I don’t know. They also make heated bases and run a machine shop.

Thank you Fritz
IMO, the Lutz is the best for a WM…..if you can afford it.
