DRUPA 04 REPORT Digital Printing -- Getting a Quick Impression

RISO offered preview demonstrations of its new HC5000 cut-sheet ink-jet printer, which produces 105 ppm. The device offers a choice of 600 or 900 dpi printing over a maximum image area of 12.36x17.87˝. It is slated to be released in the fall.

Most of the activity in the on-press/direct imaging (DI) arena centered around imaging systems and materials. There were a couple of new press announcements, though.
