Exhibitors are showcasing the latest in industry solutions at GOA 2011. Given the volume of breaking news taking place, ongoing news will continue to be shared until the show opens. The following details what some exhibitors are planning to show, and talk about, at GOA 2011:
Presstek (booth 737) will demonstrate its environmentally-friendly Presstek 34DI digital offset press and Vector FL52 two-page metal CTP system. The highly automated Presstek 34DI delivers high quality, short run four-color offset printing, economical in run lengths from 500 to 20,000. Presstek DI presses bridge the gap between conventional offset and digital toner-based presses. According to InfoTrends, Presstek DI delivers a 50 percent cost savings on average per letter-size page when compared to a high-volume color digital press, and job profitability is 13 percent higher on a DI when compared to a conventional offset press.
The Presstek 34DI has a maximum sheet size of 13.39 x 18.11 inches and prints at 7,000 sph. It supports 300 lpi and stochastic screening without incurring additional time or expense, and can handle a wide range of substrates from onion skin to heavy card stock, as well as synthetics.
The Presstek Vector FL52 system provides an affordable, small-format (52cm and under), chemistry-free CTP solution - and brings the added benefit of imaging high quality metal plates for about the same price as polyester. Freedom Pro plates are cleaned in water in the Vector's integrated washer; no baking, special cleaning fluids, or gumming is required. The result is great press performance, as well as less waste material. The system supports run lengths up to 25,000 impressions.
