Presstek 52DI Enables Universal Lithographers to Expand Business and Increase Customer Retention

Since the introduction of the first DI press, Presstek has continued to apply innovative advances to the imaging, plate and press design in DI presses, creating an optimized offset printing solution that produces exceptional quality, while improving speed, reliability and overall price performance. The latest generation DI press, the Presstek 52DI, images all four plates simultaneously on-press in precise register and outputs a 16 micron spot with automated support for 300 lpi and FM screening. In addition, it automatically adjusts the amount of ink according to the image on each plate. All of this results in very high-quality output and a makeready time significantly faster than other offset printing processes. File-to-sellable printing sheet occurs in 10 minutes, and the DI prints up to 10,000 impressions per hour with a maximum image area of 20.07 x 14.17 inches per sheet – one of the largest print areas available in its class.
