DEF

[A] technology [which] provides for the direct transfer of the image from digital files to the image carrier (plate) of the press.

OBS

A direct imaging press is basically a conventional offset press except that the image carrier(plate) is imaged directly on the press with built-in laser exposure units. Many of the press settings, such as plate registration, ink flow, and cleanup are adjusted with digital information as well. Unlike a true digital press, which can vary the image on every printed sheet, the image cannot be varied during a press run on a direct imaging press.
