Pitman to Sell Presstek DI Presses

Presstek announced that Pitman Company, one of the nation’s largest graphic arts market distributors, will now sell its Presstek 34DI and 52DI presses, further expanding its channel for Presstek Direct Imaging (DI) systems into Pitman’s large customer base. For Pitman, the DI presses help their customers effectively address one of the fastest growing segments of the print market: runs between 250 and 10,000 impressions.

In 2006, Presstek shipped a record number of DI presses, in part because a typical job on a Presstek 52DI costs about half as much per page as a comparable job on a toner-based digital device. Presstek says its DI presses meet the need for high-quality, four color in the short-run print market, where the click charges for toner-based solutions can become prohibitively expensive and traditional offset presses take too long to meet tight turnaround times.
