The big advantage DI has over digital presses, especially in the used market, is service cost. First, there are no click charges, and second, although service contracts are offered, they are not mandatory (though Presstek provides a 90-day warranty on its remanufactured QMDIs). This can greatly reduce total cost of ownership (TCO).
