Odessa installs first Pressjet II for poster work

Odessa Offset in London has installed whats believed to be the UKs first Scitex Vision Pressjet II.

The firm will use the six-colour press, which replaced its four-colour Scitex Idanit, to produce short-run posters and PoP material.

Odessa Offset also runs a six-colour Vutek 3360.

Managing director Mike Charles said: We had the Idanit for four years and it was a good press. But we realised that it was time to upgrade. The digital side of the business is growing all the time.

The Pressjet II can print a 1.62x3.66m sheet to a maximum resolution of 336dpi.

Charles said the press had been producing work for less than two weeks and was performing well.

The firm, which works with agencies including M&C Saatchi, also has a four-colour Harris litho press for longer-run work.
