Presstek Sees Strong Demand for its Sustainable Print Solutions at Graph Expo 2007

According to InfoTrends market research, the color print market in the U.S. will grow into a $43.2 billion opportunity by 2009. Frank Romano, professor emeritus at the School of Print Media at the Rochester Institute of Technology, said: “The DI is perfect for this opportunity, since 90 percent of the color business will be short-run, fast turnaround, high quality color, and 10 percent is variable data work. Most variable data work is really versioning, so for the highest quality at the lowest cost, print the shells with DI and then overprint using a toner-based device.” These high quality shells are not limited to printed sheets; they can also be #10 envelopes. The 52DI’s new stream feeder can be adjusted to handle envelopes of the #10 size.
