To be honest, I don't know too much about "short-run" printing. We used once a Fiery system for a 150 run, but that's all. Most of our work goes to magazines (as separated EPS files into Quark), and some of it to Iris (for large prints). As you know, we use the ColorEase for proofing and final prints for our clients (who maybe need 10 or 20 highquality copies). But like you say, dyesub printing is too slow -althought not that expensive- (certainly, 100 copies a day is too much -in 6 months using the Ease we only have printed about 800 pages). Anyway, most people I know use Canon engines for the kind of work you are looking for. You should look for an old Publish issue dedicated to short run printing. Since I am not in Miami, I can't point you direct to the source, but with a little research you will find that issue. Sorry for being of so little help 🙁
