Conducted in the later part of 2007, the feedback from printers was very positive says Steve Brower, director of ROW sales for Presstek."Printers want to improve their environmental impact at the same time as improving productivity and enhancing their competitive advantage."
The seminars were conducted by New Zealand agent Printing Supplies & Machinery Ltd for printers in Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland during October and December last year to highlight the benefits of Presstek's portfolio of digital offset solutions.
Says Bower: "The environmentally friendly Presstek 52DI press and the chemistry-free Vector TX52 CTP system were key highlights of these sessions which were well-attended."
Presstek's DI digital offset presses offer on-press chemistry-free platemaking, waterless printing and substantially less waste than conventional offset printing processes.
The DI's ability to go from file to sellable color within 20 sheets greatly reduces paper waste. The Presstek 52DI delivers superior quality printing of up to 10,000 impressions per hour at 300 lpi and supports FM (stochastic) screening without incurring additional time or expense, he says.
The waterless technology of the landscape format 52DI press, in addition to the unique 2:1 roll out ratio of the 52DI's ink train, provide the benefits of excellent ink coverage and the ability to print solids more easily. The Presstek 52DI's landscape orientation and 52 cm design
