I have an S, which is one model up from the C.  If the C had been available when I was purchasing, I might have gone with it.

Anywho, I don't have the C, but I'll be happy to answer any questions you might have.  Other than print size and a few other minor variables, the DB series is pretty much identical.

I have the first S, if I can help.

That's about top speed, with a full size design.

C version might go faster since it's smaller.

The Diamonback C is rated at 900 per hr. dry cycle which means you should easily have a yield of 450 per hr. average.

Take the time in the near future to come to Chgo and let our trainers teach you all the tricks of your press and printing. You get that free with the press and it is well worth your time!

Monty can help you with the scheduling. There is a preventive maintenance class to help you with keeping your M&R equipment running at optimum as well as printing classes that are hands on with our trainers in house. You can do both in one week or you can split them up. The maintenance class is a fixed schedule but the printing is very flexible.

I have an XL and can get myself up to about 600/hr. with a loader and unloader when the design prints 1 stroke on all colors.  By myself a typical print speed is about 350/hr. loading and unloading.  As far as I know everything is about the same on my press as yours besides print size, feel free to PM me with any questions.

We have around 8 classes per year since 1988. As long as you own M&R you can go as many times as you would like for free. We also schedule them in Spanish as well.

I've been to a couple of them over the years. Need to get back for new equipment and refresher. Also always cool to tour the factory. Always changing. Impressive is an understatement.

Cory, I run 1 Red Chili Flash.  Sometimes I wish I had another on press for speed but you can always use revolver if you need to.
