Need to add a used flexographic platen printer to your packaging printing and converting workflow without overthinking the choice? Two Gottscho Inc listings share almost every stated detail. Both are used, both are from the United States, and both carry the capacity notation -/60/230. The visible split between them is the model title: one ends with R, the other does not.
Quick verdict
If your operation's documentation already references the R-suffix model, go with Gottscho Inc Flexographic Platen Printer 808.25-6.25R. If your records use the plain model number, Gottscho Inc Flexographic Platen Printer 808.25-6.25 is the matching listing. There is no extra feature or capacity difference stated to separate them, so the suffix is the deciding factor.
Comparison at a glance
| Model | Listed price | Price bar | Condition | Country of Origin | Capacity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gottscho Inc Flexographic Platen Printer 808.25-6.25R | USD 130.00 | Used | United States | -/60/230 | |
| Gottscho Inc Flexographic Platen Printer 808.25-6.25 | USD 130.00 | Used | United States | -/60/230 |
Because the listed price in the table is identical, this head-to-head is not about one unit costing less. It is about making sure the model reference matches the machine label your records expect. The suffix is the visible signal to follow.
Treat the R as a model reference rather than a feature marker. With the same basics shown in the table, neither suffix is tied to a described function. A buyer tracking equipment by exact Gottscho model numbers will care most about which title matches; a buyer using only the base number will find the non-R listing cleaner.
Where each product wins
Gottscho Inc Flexographic Platen Printer 808.25-6.25R
The R-suffix model wins for buyers whose paperwork, spare-parts references, or machine labels already include the trailing R. When the model identifier has to line up exactly, this listing is the one to pick.
Gottscho Inc Flexographic Platen Printer 808.25-6.25
The non-R listing wins for buyers who work with the standard 808.25-6.25 designation. If your line documentation uses the plain model number, this listing gives you the exact title match.
Product notes
Gottscho Inc Flexographic Platen Printer 808.25-6.25R
This is the R-suffix variant of the Gottscho 808.25-6.25 flexographic platen printer. If your setup already uses the R identifier, this listing is the direct title match for your records. The immediate benefit is clarity: you can point to the R designation without paying more than the standard listing. The limitation is that the R is the only visible difference in the titles, so the decision rests on that suffix rather than an added feature. For a packaging printing and converting operation that keeps model references exact, that can be the key detail.
Gottscho Inc Flexographic Platen Printer 808.25-6.25
This is the standard 808.25-6.25 designation without the R. For a packaging printing and converting shop that records machines by the plain model number, this listing matches exactly. For shops that keep machine records by model number, that is a direct fit. That kind of exact match can save time when you reference the printer later. The limitation is that the non-R label is the only visible differentiator, so the decision remains a model-reference choice. Choose it specifically when the plain model name is the one your operation uses. In this pair, the standard model is the option that lines up with base-identifier documentation.
Final choice by use case
Choose the R version if 808.25-6.25R is the identifier on your existing line lists. Choose the standard version if 808.25-6.25 is the model you need to reference. The listed price is identical at USD 130.00, so your decision should rest on which suffix your operation expects, not on cost.
