Kathleen McHugh, vice president and chief marketing officer at Presstek says, “Aqueous coating on a Presstek 52DI press creates a winning solution for printing operations seeking a way to differentiate their services.”
She continues, “This new and innovative solution enables print providers to expand the range of applications they can produce thus opening up new business opportunities. The Presstek 52DI-AC not only reduces overall cycle time with quick-drying coatings, it increases the visual appeal and durability of printed materials as well.”
The 52DI-AC supports both flood (full page) and spot aqueous coating. Spot aqueous coating, when applied to specific areas such as individual images and/or text, produces a dramatic effect, according to Presstek.
The company also says that the new press allows providers of commercial and packaging printing services the ability to differentiate their businesses with high-value printing produced quickly and at a low cost per page for runs in the 500 to 20,000 range.
Aqueous coating capabilities offer clients a broad selection of choices for adding visual impact and durability to superior quality printing on a wide range of substrates up to 20-point thick, according to the company.
Presstek adds the 52DI-AC is a 52cm landscape format press with a maximum sheet size of 520 x 375 mm and can print 300 lpi (120 l/cm) and FM screening, without added time or expense.
