On-Demand Turns Full-Production Color

First, Ryobi. A major announcement for both Ryobi and Presstek during DRUPA 2000 is the Ryobi 3403DI, an A3-size, portrait format, four-color offset press with built-in direct imaging. Jointly developed by the two technology companies, the Ryobi 3403DI incorporates Presstek's on-press imaging technologies, which employ an infrared laser to burn images directly onto mounted plates, enabling CTP handling of digital prepress data, and eliminating film output and image exposure onto the plate.
