In May 2010 the company previewed its new 75DI digital offset press at the Ipex tradeshow in the United Kingdom to considerable interest and favorable reviews from the industry. The Presstek 75DI with its revolutionary 6-minute job-to-job turnaround, high quality output and expanded sheet size fits perfectly within the Company's up-market strategy. The 75DI has been engineered to produce pages at a manufacturing cost of below a penny per page. This new press, which will be commercially available in 2011, will increase efficiency and provide improved productivity and profitability for Presstek's customers.
