I got it a year ago and was working on fixing all the damage that it had before I decided to use it. Still have no idea how to prepare a book for printing in these monsters.

Time to try some test prints OP. Cool that you got your own shop btw.

Oh, it should also be possible to hire someone to come out and help you set it up. I would recommend this if you've got $200-300 in your budget for it.

Worked on Star Princess for 14 years as a photographer and now i am retiring since I made enough money to make my own printing company.
Hired a 5 men team to help me fix it. They will be paid when they start working with the company.

That's cool OP! I've been preparing a zine for offset printing and the typhography guys asked me to send them a pdf file where every different colour (I'm using two colours) is a 100% of either C M Y K. The file also needs 0,3 mm of bleed.
Then on a separate file we indicated where the paper needs to be cut and folded.
Not sure this is what you're looking for but yeah

Is it worth it to set up a factory and buy equipment? Is it possible to send electronic files off-shore, getting it printed cheaply in Malaysia or China?

It's worth since i am already getting business propositions from other companies. The printing press I have is Akiyama mega jprint 44. Gonna put it to use in the middle of next week I hope.
