Jeff Jacobson, chairman, president and CEO of Presstek says, “We are excited about bringing to market this latest addition to our robust line of digital offset presses.

“It is in line with our overall strategy of serving larger printing companies while continuing to bring highly valuable solutions to market that will enable our base of customers to expand their operations.”

According to Presstek the larger sheet size also means greater productivity and the ability to gang more orders onto a single sheet. The DI press technology provides the bridge for high quality, profitable print for run lengths from 500 to 20,000 impressions.

Presstek says the new press offers high quality (300 lpi or stochastic screening); extreme automation (8-minute job-to-job turnover); and a small environmental footprint with waterless printing technology, chemistry-free imaging on-press, fast run-up for minimal waste, and consistent quality from job to job and within each job.

At launch, it will be available in four, five and six-colour configurations plus an optional coater. It expects worldwide commercial availability before the end of the year.
