Presstek 34DI
The Presstek 34DI eliminates the expense of a separate plate production process and all of the extra steps associated with off press imaging. Instead, prepared digital files are sent via a highspeed network directly to the press where plates are automatically advanced and mounted on the press cylinders and imaged simultaneously in precise register. The Presstek 34DI delivers true four colour process printing with the quality, features and choices of stock you and your customers require. With the 34DI, you can economically produce full colour printing with a maximum sheet size of 340mm x 460mm. And best of all, with no film, off press imaging equipment or intermediate processing steps, you save time, labor, shop space, and money with absolutely no compromise in quality.

Automated Printing
The DI auto print system streamlines the entire printing process, from plate advancing and imaging to printing and cleaning. Presstek's DI imaging technology, combined with a central impression cylinder and single gripper system, result in precise registration every time. Make readies take ten minutes.
The Presstek 34DI’s Auto Print feature allows plate advancing, imaging, printing and blanket cleaning to be completed with a push of a button. Its user friendliness ensures easy integration of the press into any shop, and even operators with little experience can achieve quality printing results.
Waterless Printing
Eliminates the dampening system used on a conventional press and the problems associated with ink water balance, resulting in more consistent colour throughout the print run This also helps delivers better colour saturation, dark areas in process colours look darker and deeper, and highlights look brighter and cleaner. Images take on a three dimensional quality not possible with conventional offset printing . There is less dot gain, larger colour gamuts can be printed because a thicker layer of ink can be laid down on the sheet, drying time is shortend enabling faster finishing and delivery of print jobs
Quality
The Presstek 34DI provides high definition output that exceeds that of conventional offset presses and toner based printers. The automation and inherent quality of DI printing makes high quality offset printing easier than ever before, with less dependence on operator training and experience. With a 34DI, print up to 300 lpi and FM screening without incurring additional expense or time.
Productivity
The Presstek 34DI is the fastest path from digital file to sellable press sheet. The high level of automation, ease of use, and operating speed of up to 7,000 sheets an hour results in a job changeover time of 10 minutes. The auto print feature allows the operator to be productive at all times load paper, transfer jobs to the bindery, or update job tickets while the DI is automatically mounting plates, imaging plates, setting ink keys and coming to colour.
Profitability
Independent studies by InfoTrends show that DI printers experience profit margins of over 40%. The most recent InfoTrends study concludes that DI printing not only meets profit expectations but also is a growth opportunity for existing owners. Print volumes and revenues continue to increase on these devices, suggesting that these owners are building their businesses around their DI presses.
Technology
The extreme efficiency and exceptional quality of the Presstek 34DI is the result of the blending of three unique Presstek technologies press design, laser imaging and thermal plate media working together as an integrated system.
