Heidelberg Quickmaster DI Pro: Your Answer to Direct Plate Imaging

January 29, 2005 – Printing documents on your own may not be a fine idea especially when printing machines are quite expensive. This is the main reason why most people rely on copy shops to do their printing for them. Many businesses and organizations utilize the copy shops because they usually need to make copies of documents on a regular basis.

On the other hand, because of the high cost associated with outside printing, many businesses such as charities and non-profit organizations tend to shy away from printing outfits. These organizations don't have that much money to throw around. Fortunately, with digital printing, you can now produce documents you need according to the quantity you need, as well as when you need them.

When there is a necessity to print up a lot of media materials, many companies and businesses nowadays are glad that short run and on demand printing have now been made available by most of the printing shops.

One of the things that constantly raise the most complaints during the printing process is the production of images in the document. However, with the introduction of new technologies, the costly creation of film and photographic plates associated with offset printing is no longer a problem.

So how does it help quicken the process and lower costs? The Heidelberg Quickmaster DI uses direct imaging technology that automatically creates all the necessary registered plates when a digital job is sent to the press. Hence, it speeds up preparation and production by as much as 60%. The "direct imaging" process reduces the labor-intensive procedures normally associated with offset printing.
