PRINT 09: Fast Presses, Slow Show - Page 29 of 32

By Erik Cagle , Mark Michelson and Bob Neubauer

Presstek was the only manufacturer at the show with a direct imaging offset press. The company introduced an integrated aqueous coater on its 52cm landscape format press. The Presstek 52DI-AC will be available for delivery in early 2010. It supports both flood (full page) and spot aqueous coating. Spot aqueous coating, when applied to specific areas such as individual images and/or text makes those items appear to pop off of the page. The Presstek 52DI-AC not only reduces overall cycle time with quick-drying coatings, it increases the visual appeal and durability of printed materials. The press has a maximum sheet size of 20.47x14.76˝ and can print 300 lpi and FM screening, without added time or expense.
