MH9450 Digital Duplicator (dual color drum duplicator, soy-based inks) (Quantity 1)
• Description: A printing machine that combines features of traditional screen printing and offset printing
that uses a stencil-based method where ink is forced through a screen onto the printing surface. They
work by creating a master stencil for each color, which means that if you want to print in multiple
colors, you’ll need to run the paper through the machine multiple times, aligning it each time. This type
of duplicator is often used in artistic and independent publishing contexts, such as for zines, posters,
and art prints, while copiers are primarily used for office and everyday document reproduction.
