Brand: Hitachi

The Hitachi PS-48 is a typesetting system that was widely used in the printing industry during the 1980s and early 1990s. It allowed for the creation of high-quality, compact texts and images through a combination of phototypesetting and laser printing technologies. The PS-48 featured a modular design, allowing print shops to choose specific components that best met their needs (such as character modules, image modules, and specialty modules like Greek letters and mathematical symbols). It was known for its speed and reliability, making it a popular choice for newspapers, magazines, and other print materials with tight deadlines. Although obsolete in the age of digital printing, the Hitachi PS-48 continues to hold a place in printing history as a pioneering technology that helped shape the industry's transition from hot lead type to computer-generated text.
