Presstek DI Sees Strong Acceptance at On Demand Show

A typical job on a direct-to-press – or DI Press – device, such as a Presstek 52DI, costs on average about half as much per page as that of a comparable job run on high-volume, color, toner-based digital equipment, according to InfoTrends’ U.S. Print On Demand Market Forecast: 2005-2010.

“I saw the Presstek DI for the first time at the On Demand show, and I was truly surprised by the performance of the press,” said Joe Frassica, president of Frasco Printing in Waltham, Massachusetts. “It is a robust production system that is easy to use and would fit right into our production environment. The DI would allow us to compete with high-quality offset printing in the on demand market, and Presstek’s presentation at the show certainly peaked my interest in DI printing.”
