Graph Expo 2010: Sheetfed/Web Litho Printing - Diagnosis: ‘Iron’ Deficiency

Also shown were the Presstek 34DI, as well as the Presstek 52DI-AC featuring in-line aqueous coating. These DI presses are best suited for runs of 500 to 20,000, bridging the gap between digital toner and conventional offset printing.

Other lithographic press manufacturers that did sign up for booths, namely manroland, KBA North America and Goss International, opted not to bring any equipment. Instead, manroland shuttled printers to its technology center in nearby Westmont for breakfast demos of its quick-makeready 
Roland 708PLV DD (DirectDrive) press (which CEO Vince Lapinski says has been sold to a not yet named printer). Also announced were the sale of a 64˝ Roland 906XXL press with coater to Strine Printing in York, PA, and a partnership with RedTie for an offset-based Web-to-print solution. At its booth, manroland highlighted its PrintValue services, including process optimization, contract services and 
maintenance programs.
