TO ALL....., Have done some research regarding the Alcoa agreement.

Would you believe there is a market of 200 BILLION cans of which Alcoa controls nearly 1/2 of this or 100 BILLION cans? The word is that this technology between the two firms has been in secret development for over a year now. Alcoa believes that with the Presstek technology, they can control nearly 90% of the aluminum can market!

It is their intent to convert completely to Presstek Imaging and produce the finest images on cans as can be imagined. All of this at no additional cost to the company over their present system. They will be able to instantly personalize the cans etc. They see this as a definate improvement over their present printing process and are thrilled to be alligned with Presstek.

Let's see....If Presstek royalty was say, one half cent per can and Alcoa has 50% of the market.....100,000,000,000 cans x .005 = is that $500 million additional dollars? If so, and Alcoa gets 75% of the can market.....$750 million? I have no idea if this is anywhere near what Presstek will receive but you only have to use your imagination. Minds that are alot smarter than ours, are buying this stock in droves right now. Those holding the stock long are not selling....Makes you wonder what they know.

J.M. you are right on target!

Neil

PS.... 3,000,000 shares short.

PPS....Anyone take a look at the 30 day chart? Heights seem to make me dizzy!
