Press fully justified by transfer of 1,000+ print runs
from digital toner device
Greenwich, CT - September 20, 2012 - Presstek, Inc. (NASDAQ:
PRST), a leading supplier of digital offset printing
solutions to the printing and communications industries,
today announced that the University of Colorado at Boulder
Imaging Services has installed a Presstek 34DI digital offset
press. Founded in 1876, CU Boulder has more than 1,000
faculty members and serves about 30,000 students. Imaging
Services has been the University's print shop since 1923 and
is operated by nine full-time employees and six part-time
students.
"As our volume of 4-color work continued to grow, especially
in run lengths greater than 1,000," said Al Goranson, Manager
of CU Imaging Services, "it became too expensive to address
these needs with our existing HP Indigo digital press. We
were able to justify the Presstek 34DI based solely on the
volume transfer of longer run lengths from the Indigo. With
the press in place, we also expect to be able to secure
additional work from our campus customers."
"CU Boulder took advantage of our Certified Pre-Owned DI
press program," said Joe Demharter, Presstek's Vice President
of Sales & Marketing. "This allowed them to acquire a
like-new press with a full warranty and Presstek Service
Maintenance Agreement at a very competitive price. Imaging
Services also found that another advantage of their DI press
is its overall small environmental footprint."
Imaging Services, as a University Auxiliary organization,
must compete for printing work with other resources. Goranson
adds, "We have been doing about 15% to 20% of the
University's printing. With the addition of the Presstek
34DI, we anticipate moving that to at least 30%. This will
equate to an additional $500,000 in revenue for the
department. Our customers are ecstatic about the quality the
DI delivers and its small environmental footprint. These
factors, along with our ability to deliver more
cost-effective longer run printing, make it reasonable to
assume we will be able to achieve that goal."
The Presstek 34DI is a highly automated 34cm portrait digital
offset 4-color press. The 34DI features support for 300 lpi
and FM screening, the ability to go from digital file to
printed sheet in 10 minutes, and a small environmental
footprint. The press prints up to 7,000 sheets per hour.
