DI or Direct Imaging Offset Printing Presses

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.
