Presstek, Inc. (NASDAQ: PRST), a leading supplier of digital offset printing solutions to the printing and communications industries, today announced that it will be joining Asian Pacific distributor Cyber at PrintEx11, scheduled for May 4th through 6th, 2011, at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre. Cyber is located in booths 2104 and 2404 at the show and will feature a Presstek 52DI digital offset press.
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-color digital offset press consistently produces sellable sheets in approximately 10 minutes (including plate imaging) with up to 300 lpi and FM screening on a broad range of substrate thicknesses up to 20pt, increasing capabilities, throughput, and profitability.
“The PrintEx theme is think print & design,” said Tim Sawyer, Presstek’s Director, Asia Pacific. “Attendees will have an opportunity to learn about the impact a Presstek DI digital offset press has on the productivity and profitability of a printing establishment. In addition, it is a great venue to introduce designers to the concept of extremely affordable high quality short run color printing that is produced in an environmentally friendly fashion. Presstek is pleased to be joining Cyber at this important event.”
“We are very pleased that Presstek experts will be joining us at PrintEx11,” said Bernard Cheong, Australian Managing Director for Cyber. “We are excited about the opportunity to present this breakthrough digital press to the large and varied audience expected to attend the show. It is also a terrific opportunity for print service providers to educate their designer clients about the opportunities opened by the Presstek 52DI press for the highest quality and most efficient print production in the marketplace. Designers and marketers will love the quality and reduced time to market the 52DI delivers, making the most of brand presentation for a wide range of printed applications.”
