One solution where the company holds high hopes is the new Presstek 52DI digital offset press, making its North American debut at Graph Expo in Chicago. Capable of printing up to 10,000 iph at 300 lpi, the landscape-oriented (52cm) press accommodates a 20.47x14.76˝ sheet size. Geoff Loftus, Presstek’s general manager for press products, said the 52DI’s sweet spot is the 500 to 5,000 color sheet range—filling a gap between digital copier-based technology and conventional offset.
