On Press - The Heidelberg Quickmaster DI

The Quickmaster DI blends the quality of offset printing with the speed of a digital workflow.

The DI is a four-color press in which the entire printing process is controlled from a touch screen station. The digital data is loaded directly into the press where precise plates are made at the touch of a button, reducing the "makeready" time by eliminating costly, time-consuming steps.

The DI can run a wide range of paper stocks and print on a maximum sheet size of 18-1/8" x 13-3/8"

See Print Tech's Lead Printer, Keith Knox, describe more on the Heidelberg Quickmaster DI (video).

Why Print Tech?

When it comes to finding the best printer for your project, it’s a lot like trying to find a needle in the haystack.

There are so many choices between your local printer, the internet, and the big national companies that it’s hard to know which to choose. Much of the choice depends on what you’re printing. Is it black and white or color? Do you need a 200 page catalog or 200 4 x 6 postcards? Is it a one-off, oversized poster or 5000 business cards?

I can give you lots of practical reasons why you should use us and not the other guy. Like, we do digital printing, signage, graphic design, variable data printing, targeted marketing, and we print “green.” But I seriously doubt that any of you reading this is about to change printers based on the short list of services I just recited. And you shouldn’t.

Instead, maybe you should consider not what we do, but who we are. We are a highly skilled group of artists, proofreaders, printers, salespeople, mailing experts and customer sales reps that provide exceptional service. As a closely knit team, we understand all facets of the printing industry and we are able to bring that extraordinary knowledge to every job we do, so it’s done right, on time, and on budget.

It is our intention to use this blog to share that knowledge and experience with you. We want to inform, educate and entertain. And in return, we hope you join us in the conversation. We hope you’ll post your own comments, tips, and experiences so this can become the “go-to” resource for your printing and design questions.

After all, finding the information you need to get the best printing and design shouldn’t be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
