Presstek 52DI Digital Offset Press: Business Generator
Demonstrations of the Presstek 52DI press are a “must-see” at the show for companies looking for a faster and more profitable way to produce environmentally friendly, high-quality, short-run color printing. The 2008 InfoTrends, Inc. study, Presstek DI Printing Study: Bridging the Gap Between Digital Toner and Conventional Offset surveyed eighty DI press owners from around the world and found that these print providers are growing their print revenue and profit margins with their Presstek DI presses. According to the survey’s conclusion, “These print providers indicated that Presstek DI presses are well-positioned between toner and conventional technologies, satisfying customer requirements in the 500 to 20,000 run length range with increased print quality, faster turnaround time, a wider range of substrates, and a lower price per page.” (The complete study can be downloaded by visiting www.presstek.com.)
