GE07: Digital Printing — Applications Being Taken

Under yet another deal, Hamada Printing Press is now selling the Screen (USA) Truepress 344 digital offset press through its U.S. and Canadian dealer network. The machine has a maximum 13.4x18.5˝ sheet size and prints at 7,000 sph.

It’s probably understating things to say that digital printing of pages had a bumpy road to acceptance as a mainstream process. Is that an indication of the outlook for adoption of wide-format digital printing by commercial printers? Possibly, but the technology has already been touted as an opportunity for years and there are other established players—sign shops, photo labs, etc.—that can vie to own the market in this case.
