Presstek 52DI
The Presstek 52DI is among the most efficient, productive and profitable digital offset printing presses ever brought to market in the 52cm landscape format size. This highly automated four colour digital offset press consistently produces sellable sheets in approximately 10 minutes with up to 300 lpi and FM screening on a broad range of substrate thicknesses up to 0.5mm, increasing capabilities, throughput, and profitability. Job profitability is 13 percent higher on a DI compared to a conventional press, and compared to a toner based digital device, the DI press saves 50 percent on average per A4 size page. The Presstek 52DI has a maximum sheet size of 510mm x 360mm and produces up to 10,000 sheets per hour.

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. Makereadies take ten minutes.
Compact and Environmentally Friendly Press Design
The unique design of Presstek DI presses offers a significantly smaller footprint than a conventional four-color press and its required platemaking solution. Presstek DI presses fit easily into any print shop. And best of all, with no film, off-press imaging equipment or intermediate processing steps, you save time, labor, floor space, and money with absolutely no compromise in quality. DI also eliminates the inconsistencies and environmental concerns that are normally associated with chemistry-based imaging and alcohol-based dampening systems.
Quality
With a push of a button, easily produce line screens up to 300 lpi or FM screening in precise register. Presstek DI presses are also waterless, which means the problems associated with ink/water balance are eliminated, better color saturation is achieved, you’ll print with less dot gain, and a larger color gamut can be printed.
Efficient Digital Workflow
The Presstek DI press integrates seamlessly into Macintosh and Windows workflows. Files are RIP'ed directly to the press; text, images and imposition can be checked on the DI’s on-press monitor or by using a hardcopy proofing solution.
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 52DI 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.
