There is no easy answer, and some POD operations may have more than one type of printer or press. In the last three segments This article we have caught a glimpse of the market has to take a step back and looked at alternatives to digital presses, and discussed how many printers find their way into the POD market. We conclude this series with a look at how some of these Decisions continue to demand and determine how you can determine whether an investment is in a POD solution good for you. For short-term color output offset, which is economical and simple, there is a role for the DI and his cousin, without film, Computer to Plate (CTP) printing. Four color offset DI sets of printing plates the press. CTP printing without a computer product from the film as an intermediate step. The DI market, there were many changes this year. Mainstay Presstek moved to a direct role, while another leader, Heidelberg, surrounded by the DI to the CTP. Presstek rose from OEM system with the Presstek 52DI. It uses Zero Transfer Print extremely accurate registration of colors on a wide range of shares. If Heidelberg is addressed Citing falling investment, Heidelberg was frequently out of the picture itself and stop the production of their ID New Start-Up and Speedmaster 74 DI products, but will offer remanufactured units. Refurbished DI presses offer a way to Working in four colors for small businesses that do not can afford both a new press and CTP. Far from abandoning POD, Heidelberg feels well positioned in the market. Heidelberg offers a variety of prepress, press and post press solutions, the capacity of the stores of all sizes to meet, “said Jörg Dähnhardt, director of product management, Heidelberg. “The recent announcement of two new Suprasetter and Workflow targeted to small shops, Heidelberg underlines the importance of this market segment. Heidelberg believes Anicolor inking unit reduces the time to make loans and to reduce waste by 90 percent, according to an InfoTrends Sector Analysis of Direct-to-press. Many players That still leaves a lot of players such as Kodak DI, Ryobi, Riso, and on the screen. “Our goal at high speed, low-cost production Increase in our call for application in many areas of the POD, “says David Murphy, Director of Business RISO duplicator.” Our High-speed color printer and printer-duplicators have capacities of many newspaper articles, but not the operators of the press. “ RISO Printer-Duplicators can spot colors for about half a cent per impression to produce and print up to 180 ppm. They pressure on the media weight and size of the envelopes. “The application sweet spot for our high-speed color printers Color Imaging, plus black and white and spot color. These applications are not forced to run through the length and can variable data contains, “said Murphy. A view-cons George Alexander, longtime chronicler of the digital market and now with the PODi Organization, remains cautious about the role of FDI in POD. “DI presses have never really found his place in the market,” he said USA. “The only real chance of FDI technology to gain market share, in my opinion, is their relatively easy use to use. conventional presses require skilled operators and have a long learning curve. DI presses are highly automated and Operators do not have to know about the license plate, ink and water balance, dot gain, ink settings, etc.. “ ”This points to a rapidly growing market among digital printers that only have the capacity for long runs. Once toner-based Loading will start getting a lot of jobs in 3000 to 10,000 in the field of printing, offset printing is an attractive and DI Release is a much better fit for the environment of the traditional press. “At this market,” he said suppliers must Call on prospects outside their traditional markets commercial printing. “It really is a chance that I could see, and The market can not last as long as the equipment of high quality digital color still relatively slow and expensive Run. “ Is there a place for systems such as offset printing on demand? It depends on who makes the call, or perhaps make the Turnover. Next week, we present our third segment of the series focuses on how many digital printers find their way to POD.
