DI’s New Niche
As an independent consultant, I know that one of the things my clients appreciate is my objectivity. I operate in an unbiased, vendor-neutral environment. In this article, I’m going to talk about what the marketing hype won’t: the reality of DI presses from a holistic perspective.
Presstek offers the widest assortment of DI presses, with three on the market according to Tom Leibrandt, the company’s product manager for press products. These range from the entry-level 34DI-E and the high-productivity 34DI-X, both 34cm portrait-format presses, to the 52DI, a landscape format 52cm model capable of 10,000 impressions per hour (iph) with a stream feeder as standard equipment.
