flow rate on this valve says 700 liters per minute -- is that enough for a press application or is that on the lower end for that kind of work?

For press applications, 700 litres per minute puts this valve well into capable territory. Press systems vary a lot in demand, but this is a two-stage directional control valve built specifically with press use as one of its listed applications, so it was sized with that kind of load in mind. The DG5V-8 series from Eaton Vickers handles both three-way and four-way directional control, which gives you flexibility depending on how your press circuit is configured.
