UV Option for DI Presses. Two breakthrough UV printing options will be available for both the Presstek 52DI and 34DI presses. These options increase the flexibility of the DI press by dramatically expanding the range of applications and markets that can be addressed, thereby making it easier for printers to competitively differentiate themselves. UV waterless inks dry instantly and produce superior quality printing, especially on uncoated stock and non-porous substrates, such as foils, vinyls and plastics. The hybrid UV option that allows for switching between standard waterless and UV waterless inks will be available in the fourth quarter of 2008. The UV option for operating the DI as a UV waterless press is being demonstrated on a 52DI press at drupa, and will be available in the third quarter of 2008. Installed 52DI and 34DI presses are field upgradeable to either option.
