I may be a little dense, but I fail to see the barrier to using Presstek technology in the Asian world. As I understand it, they have somehow managed to print books, magazines, and newspapers for years. Surely it would be easier to set up a print job using your Zi machines than going to a box of lead type with over 50,000 compartments.

Also, a digital press isn't limited to setting up pages of ASCII characters. I have seen some high quality photographs printed with Presstek equipment. I don't believe those images were input pixel by pixel using a keyboard. Is it so much more difficult to image a page of Chinese or Japanese characters, especially using Zi Corp?
