Get the Fast Speed of Digital with
the High Quality of Offset Printing
The RYOBI 3404DI—a digital offset printing system that embodies the new fusion of
prepress and press—is destined to become the unchallenged leader in the short-run
color printing market of the 21st century.
The digitalization of prepress and the penetration of the Internet have brought about a dramatic
increase in presses capable of accepting original document data submitted for printing directly
from the client or designer.The RYOBI 3404DI represents a new generation of digital offset
printing presses that, by utilizing prepress data, can deliver full-color printing for only as few prints
as are needed, quickly and with the high quality of offset printing.
The RYOBI 3404DI is an A3-size, portrait format four-color offset press incorporating the
advanced digital imaging system from Presstek, Inc. of the U.S. It offers high productivity with the
capability to directly print received data, user-friendly operation thanks to extensive automation,
and the high print quality of offset printing.These features are combined to flexibly meet the
needs of the rapidly growing short-run color printing market.The RYOBI 3404DI will generate
tremendous business opportunities for today’s printing companies, as well as for color separators
and service bureaus.

Advanced DigitalTechnologyTo Boost Productivity
An IdealWork Flow for Digitalization
The rapid transition of prepress operations to computer-based digital
processes and the spread of the Internet have made it possible to send
original document data directly to the printer over ordinary telecommu-
nications networks. By incorporating the RYOBI 3404DI into corporate
network environments, it can be positioned as a high-performance
output device.
From prepress directly to the press—direct imaging technology from
Presstek incorporated into the RYOBI 3404DI makes it possible to
completely eliminate the need for analog intermediate processes such as
film output and image exposure onto the plate.The RYOBI 3404DI
raises productivity even with frequent job changes, and is the ideal
system for short-run color printing jobs that demand quick turnarounds.

System Flowchart
• FirePower™ multi-beam lasers developed by
Presstek loosen the silicone layer on the
surface of the plate, directly forming the
screen dots.The RYOBI 3404DI is equipped
with two imaging heads. Both imaging heads
contain six laser modules, each of which
emits four laser beams.A total of 24 laser
beams burn the image onto the two plate
surfaces (two colors) on each plate cylinder.

After four roll-type plates are set inside the
plate cylinder gaps (one in each cylinder gap),
the plates are advanced automatically and

printing plates are positioned automatically,
and used plates are wound onto take-up
spools. Each roll contains 28 plates.
The RYOBI 3404DI supports both PostScript
and PDF data in the Macintosh and Windows®
environments, and achieves the fusion of
prepress and press in a flexible, open system.
In addition, by using Ethernet to link the
RYOBI 3404DI to a digital front-end system,
digital data received from the prepress side
can be printed directly with impressively fast
turnaround times.
• The RIP for RYOBI 3404DI SV770 utilizes
Harlequin ScriptWorks (PostScript Level 3
compatible), which has a proven track
record of performance and offers high
speeds and reliability. Its Windows NT®
Server operating system also has a long
established reputation for stability and
functionality. Optimized bitmap data for
printing is generated quickly based on
PostScript or PDF data received from a
Macintosh or Windows-based computer.
* Spot sizes were measured on the PEARLdry™ Plus
plate after imaging was completed.
Shortened Drying Tim es with an
Infrared Dr yer (option)
The delivery section can be equipped with an
infrared dryer to shorten drying time for
printed materials, an especially effective option
for jobs with short turnaround times.Also, the
use of powder sprays can be reduced for a
cleaner working environment.

Unm atched Versatility
The RYOBI 3404DI is capable of flexibly handling a wide variety
of paper types and inks, and offers unmatched versatility. It can
handle many types of printing, ranging from pamphlets and
presentation materials to postcards.
W ide Variation of Paper
The RYOBI 3404DI can accommodate a wide
range of paper sizes and stocks to match the
printing job—from smaller-than-postcard size of
90 x 100 mm up to a maximum 340 x 460 mm,
and thicknesses from 0.06 mm onion skin to
0.3 mm card stock. It is also flexible enough to
handle a variety of paper qualities—from regular
printing papers to label stock and envelopes.
Sim ple, Easy Paper Size Change to
Match the Job
Both the feeder table and the delivery table dolly
are hoisted by motors.A convenient paper size
change button allows quick and easy resetting of
paper guides for different stock size.Thus, paper
sizes can be changed quickly and efficiently
whenever the operator needs to start a new print
job.
Push Side Guide and
Underswing Infeed System
Paper feed section
• The push side guide ensures accurate paper
positioning on the feeder board. Consistent
registration accuracy is achieved even when
printing on the back side of the paper.
• Thanks to a simple, yet precise underswing
infeed system with cam-closed type sheet
grippers and an accurate front lay system, the
RYOBI 3404DI maintains stable registration
accuracy.
Push side guide registration
• Mechanical and electronic double sheet
detectors and multiple sensors monitor paper
travel.The OK monitor on the operation stand
clearly indicates the source of the paper trouble
so the operator can take quick action.
• Suction wheels and a decurling system come as
standard equipment, ensuring stable paper
stacking in the delivery section.
W aterless O ffset Printing Inks
The RYOBI 3404DI uses waterless offset printing
inks.These inks are available in standard
process colors, as well as in
custom specialty colors
designed for printing spot
colors such as logos and
corporate names.

User-Friendly Operation Thanks to Autom ation
The RYOBI 3404DI is loaded with automated processes, from
plate advance and imaging to making color adjustments—
operations that once required high levels of experience and skill.
Its user-friendliness ensures that even operators with little
experience can achieve quality printing in a short period of time.

Control from the O peration Stand
Convenient
Auto Print Function
All major operations for the RYOBI 3404DI are
initiated and controlled from the operation stand.
Setting the number of printed sheets; job data
entry, interruption and recall; presetting the ink
fountain keys; and cleaning are all centrally
controlled from the operator’s position.A large-
format 14.1-inch LCD ensures user-friendly
operation.
The RYOBI 3404DI features a
convenient Auto Print function.
Printing operations start just
by selecting the Auto Print
command on the operation
stand’s monitor screen. Plate
advancing, imaging, printing and
blanket cleaning are all carried
out at a click of a button.
Autom atic Ink Fountain Key Presets
Autom atic Cleaning
Devices
The RYOBI 3404DI comes
standard with an automated cleaning system for
both ink rollers and blankets (including an impres-
sion cylinder cleaning function).This reduces the
cleaning time required when switching jobs, thus
lessening the workload for the operator.
Calculating the image area ratio for each color is
done simultaneously with imaging. Presetting the
ink fountain key is done automatically from the
operation stand based on this data.This allows
easy control of the ink fountain key opening
volume, dramatically reducing the time and effort
involved in making color adjustments.

RYO BI Program Inking
RYO BI PDS-E
Printing Density Control System (option)
RYOBI Program Inking automatically supplies ink
to the ink rollers to match the image from the
very start of printing.After the set number of
prints is finished, the ink on the rollers is auto-
matically restored to an even state, allowing the
operator to proceed quickly to the next job and
minimizing the amount of wasted paper generated
at the start of printing.
The RYOBI PDS-E Printing Density Control System
is an option on the 3404DI. Color adjustments
previously based on the experience and intuition of
the operator can now be made using numerical
values from solids densities calculated for each
color.This system allows the operator to easily
match printing output to the OK sheet and keep
quality consistent.
