Presstek offering now includes preheat, no preheat, and
chemistry-free plates
Greenwich, CT - January 10, 2012 - Presstek, Inc. (NASDAQ:
PRST), a leading supplier of digital offset printing
solutions to the printing and communications industries,
continues to develop and expand its digital plate portfolio
to meet the widest range of offset printing needs. Most
recently, the company announced Presstek PhD 830, a
negative-working thermal pre-heat plate that is compatible
with the industry's leading thermal CTP systems. PhD 830 uses
significantly less chemistry than other brands. Aeon, a
no-preheat thermal CTP plate, and Aurora, a chemistry-free
plate, complete Presstek's digital CTP plate portfolio.
"A broad and competitive plate portfolio is an important
aspect of Presstek's strategic growth initiatives," said Joe
Demharter, Vice President of Sales for Presstek. "With our
expanded portfolio, we are now capable of servicing and
supplying plate needs for print shops of all sizes and are a
viable alternative to the three major plate suppliers. The
new PhD 830 plate is a golden opportunity for us since it is
a near-drop-in product for many printers using competitive
products." Demharter points out that feedback from Presstek
customers about its plate offerings has been exceptional,
adding, "Our attention to detail and dedication to excellent
customer service, regardless of the size of the print shop,
is a clear market differentiator for us. Customers appreciate
the fact that we take the time to understand their business
needs and act as a true partner in advancing their business
growth initiatives."
PhD 830 is a negative working pre-heat thermal plate supporting run lengths of 250,000 without baking and a million plus with an optional post-bake. PhD 830 requires less chemistry and has a wider pre-heat latitude than competitive plate products. This ablation-free plate is designed to use less laser power and to run at the fastest possible imaging speeds. PhD 830 plates support screen resolutions of 1-99% at 300 lpi and are FM screening certified. In the pressroom, the plate is highly resistant to pressroom chemicals and on-press abrasion.
Aeon is a positive-working, high resolution,
no-preheat thermal CTP plate that offers run lengths up to
200,000 without baking; an optional post-bake enables runs of
up to one million. Aeon supports screen resolutions of 1-99%
at 200 lpi. In the pressroom, the Aeon plate provides fast
roll-up, excellent ink/water balance and durability, making
it the ideal solution for a broad range of printing
applications. It has a strong resistance to UV inks and
solvents and can be used in both UV and conventional printing
without any sacrifice in productivity or quality.
Aurora is a true chemistry-free daylight-safe metal
plate that can be imaged on a range of thermal platesetters.
Aurora is rated up to 50,000 impressions and can be imaged at
a resolution of 1% to 99% at 200 lpi. Prior to mounting on
press, its chemistry-free process requires only a simple
water wash after imaging with no need for chemistry.
Demharter states, "Presstek's highly qualified technical
support team is another example of our high level of
dedication and commitment to the industry. We have one of the
largest field support teams in the industry, and we take
pride in providing a level of personalized service that is
often lacking when dealing with larger suppliers. Our team of
plate application specialists, large field service force,
highly competent inside sales group and network of factory
trained dealers positions Presstek to gain share in the high
volume North American CTP plate market. In addition, our
online store, shop.presstek.com, makes one stop shopping for
competitively priced prepress and pressroom supplies fast and
easy."
