Richmond, VA (March 15, 2007) - Wythken Printing is proud to announce the arrival of their new baby; a new, state-of-the-art Presstek 34DI (four-color printing press).  This baby arrived March 19th and will weigh in at a whopping 10,000 lbs. 8 oz. and she’s 53” long. Not only is she big, but she’s a rare baby; the only press of its kind in Richmond and one of only a handful available on the East Coast. 

The Presstek 34DI represents the latest and greatest in digital print capabilities.  This incredible new press allows Wythken customers to save time and money. Its all-digital workflow exceeds the versatility and quality of a conventional four-color offset press. With waterless formula printing at an unbelievable 300 lines per inch, this baby allows you to effortlessly print on a wide range of papers. Colors on the Presstek 34DI are richer and more consistent than those of its older siblings and its high-speed infrared dryer allows projects to be delivered faster.

“Chuck and I are proud new Papas,” says Ric Withers, co-owner of Wythken. “Knowing the capabilities of this new baby and what we’re now able to do for our customers, we’re all cooing with excitement.”

“We’re growing and this gives us more capability, but it is also a distinct competitive advantage over larger, more expensive commercial printers,” says Wythken partner Charles D. “Chuck” Aiken. “This baby is awesome.”
