DI’s New Niche
Both KBA and Screen offer inline coating options. Presstek is evaluating the development of an inline coater for the 52DI.
When it comes to used equipment, there is a well-established base for the cost-conscious or entry-level buyer. Presstek for example, now offers rebuilt Heidelberg QMDI presses at about half the cost of one of their new entry-level machines. And for the adventurous, there is also a rather large independent dealer and FSBO market.
