Complementary Future of Offset, Digital Printing to Be Seen at Drupa

One reason for this is digital printing companies don’t want to have offset printing skills and the Presstek DI presses can be run almost like digital presses with offset costs. Jeff Jacobsen the Chairman, President and CEO of Presstek, states the following, “We have a term called ‘bridging the gap.’ Customers are having great difficulty as 80 percent of all printing in four-color is under 5,000 impressions, and to do that efficiently, you cannot do it with electrophotography because the toner is too expensive and inkjet is not there yet. Between 500 and 20,000 impression,s DI will give you the absolute highest quality at the lowest cost per piece.”
