1. Pica 590/40 is a type of printing process also known as offset printing. It is a lithographic printing process that uses a metal plate to transfer an image to a rubber blanket, which then transfers it to the printing surface.
2. Pica 590/40 prints with resolutions up to 2400 dpi and can print on paper, cardboard, plastic and foil.
3. Pica 590/40 is compatible with digital and conventional printing processes. This means that it can print directly from computer-generated files or film negatives.
4. The process features four separate components: a digital press, an imaging unit, a conveyor, and a spliceman. The digital press is used to digitally print onto the imaging unit. The imaging unit runs the film or computer-generated files and the conveyor carries the printed material to the spliceman, who attaches it to the pre-printed substrate material.
5. Pica 590/40 is capable of producing high-quality, four-color prints. It is well-suited for large-volume jobs and offers a wide variety of finishes, such as matte, dull and gloss.
