Quick Press vs. Standard Press 0

[Haupia]

Is there a HUGE difference between a Quick Press vs. Standard Press that CGC/CCS offers? 

[Tony S]

Yes, there is a big difference between the two. 

Quick Press is a once and done pressing. CCS cleans the books if needed and then presses them one time.  No inspection is done after this one pressing because even if defects remain, books will not be repressed.  Quick Press books cannot be submitted for screening, so it falls on the submitter to not send books in that are weak and could be damaged by pressing.  Finally, there is a minimum submission for Quick Press. At least 15 books have to be sent in. 

The CCS website discusses which books are worthwhile for Quick Press. They suggest modern books that are already high grade with few flaws to begin with or books that are low grade with a large number of pressable defects. 

Quick Press is a low hanging fruit type of press. Designed to get the easy to fix defects out, but not the harder ones.  To me, it doesn't make financial sense to intentionally pay less for a lesser pressing, when the reason to press is to get the best possible grade. But some may have had a good experience and might post up here in response.

I don't see any language about the actual duration of the procedure. In the Youtube pressing vdeos, we see examples of pressing where no more than 170 degrees is utilized for pressing and the book can spend up to as much as 24 hours in the press! They've got to be kidding, right? 1 day for each book, each press occupied for 24 hours? What am I not grasping here if that is the typical procedure? You'd need a dozen or more presses if you pressed for a living and perhaps more than one set of breakers for the amp/watt load?
