DIGITAL COLOR PRESSES -- Digital Devices' Dance Card

These DI presses are based on a press platform (18.11x13.39˝ maximum sheet size) from Ryobi, which is marketing its own versions in the U.S. through xpedx/Import Group. Toward the end of 2004, xpedx was selling out the last of its previous generation models, the Ryobi 3404-DI, and had begun installing the higher end, ProFire-based Ryobi 3404X-DI, reports Don Trytten, vice president and general manager. He adds that entry-level Ryobi 3404E-DI models were on order and that the company was finalizing what would be standard equipment on the configuration offered in the United States. The company offers Harlequin-based front ends to drive the presses.
