Presstek's Global Expansion Activity

One of Presstek’s main growth initiatives is to expand internationally. Expanding distribution and demonstrating equipment at major international trade shows are key steps in achieving this goal.

Latin America

During the Graphics of America trade show in February 2012 Presstek and its dealer Soluciones del Futuro hosted printers from Latin America at Miami, FL based City Colors. City Colors demonstrated their two Presstek 52DI presses and provided insight into how they operate their business. City Colors is a family owned trade printer that specializes in business cards, postcards, and other color products.

Shanghai, China

The Presstek 52DI digital offset press was recently demonstrated at the All in Print China Show to large crowds in the Shanghai Electric Printing & Packaging Machinery Group booth. China represents a large market with a growing demand for low cost, high quality short-run color printing delivered in an environmentally friendly fashion. This was the first time a Presstek DI press was demonstrated in China. Visitors were impressed by the DI's unique, compact design and on-press imaging technology. The high print quality and speed of the Presstek DI press was particularly impressive to attendees.
