Small- & Medium-Format Sheetfeds — Armed To Compete

On the flip side, Hamada of America’s Mike Dighton feels that digital printing still has a way to go to seriously compete with the quality of sheetfed offset printing. The company’s B452 press operates in the 500 to 30,000 impression marketplace.

“As far as digital goes, they are too slow and cost too much to produce quality runs of any length,” Dighton remarks. “Customers want color, and the only way to run real quality is on a conventional offset press.”
