DI or Direct Imaging Offset Printing Presses

Comment Comments Closed

Printing Responsibly uses DI presses, which bring 2 different types of advantages, performance and environmental.

  • DI presses get to approved color in as little as 12 minutes, which saves paper and energy.
  • DI presses print at 300 line screen, which is 50% higher resolution than conventional offset presses (typical presses max. 200 linescreen)
  • DI presses use soy based inks, which make it easier to separate ink from paper in the recycling process, and of course it doesn’t hurt to use natural ingredients when making anything.
  • DI presses are waterless, this eliminates the normal dampening system in a press that requires water and chemistry to mix.
  • DI presses use temperature to control imaging.

    FSC logo
    We are FSC Certified. Giving you peace of mind in knowing that the paper you buy from us as part of your printed job has come from a managed forest which will halt the harmful deforestation that is happening around the world. Learn more about the FSC.

    Waterless logo
    We are a Waterless printing company. To learn more about waterless printing, visit our educational blog. www.printingresponsibly.org

    Soy Ink logo
    We use Soy inks. This gives recycling companies a far superior ability to separate the inks from the paper. The fact that Soy is a natural ingredient as opposed to petroleum, is equally as important. Learn more about Soy ink.
