Taking The Direct Route

The TruePress 544 digital imaging system, from Screen (USA), does not yet have any U.S. installations. It comprises a digital imaging and offset printing unit, and a controller that handles tasks like job control and RIP processing of page files. Geared for short-run work, the TruePress 544 uses Mitsubishi Silver Digi Plate polyester plates. It runs at half the speed of the Quickmaster DI, printing up to 4,000 impressions an hour for four-color work or 8,000 iph for two-color work, using conventional process inks.
