Presstek to Unveil Innovative Digital Offset, CTP Products at drupa

GREENWICH, CT—March 29, 2012—Presstek, Inc. (NASDAQ: PRST), a leading supplier of digital offset printing solutions to the printing and communications industries, today announced that it will be introducing two exciting new products at drupa 2012, scheduled to begin May 3 at Messe Düsseldorf. In addition to new products being unveiled, the Presstek 75DI, a revolutionary B2-format digital offset press will be the highlight of Presstek’s stand with a large number of scheduled customer demonstrations.

The company will also showcase its Presstek 52DI digital offset press and display a wide range of thermal CTP plates. Presstek will be located in Hall 4, Stand B03, at the show.

Continued Heritage of Innovation
At drupa, Presstek plans to announce a new chemistry-free CTP plate for sheetfed and web waterless printing applications. This new plate offers excellent on-press performance and will raise the efficiency of prepress departments by eliminating the time-consuming steps, variables, and costs that are associated with production of other waterless plates. Once imaged, only a simple cleaning with water is required prior to mounting the plates on press.

Presstek will also unveil a new color calibration and defect detection technology during drupa. This breakthrough technology inspects each sheet with the press operating at full speed and makes any necessary adjustments on the fly. This exciting new technology will be demonstrated on the Presstek 75DI at drupa.

Presstek 75DI Showcased at drupa
The company will be showing a five-color Presstek 75DI digital offset press with in-line aqueous coater on its stand at drupa. The 75DI was first shown at Ipex 2010 as a prototype and is now a commercial product with successful installations on three continents in a variety of shops, including one of the world’s largest commercial printers and one of North America’s largest in-plants. The press has also garnered strong interest from folding carton printers, because of the unique capabilities of the 75DI for applications in this field.
