Coldset Web Offset -- No Heat, No Sweat

King Press feels it has addressed the aforementioned concerns in the manufacturing of its Print King IV vertical web offset press. The Print King IV is a single-width, single-around perfecting press available in up to four units high.

Rich Kerns, president of Solna Web USA, also believes that improving ink quality over the past few years and the broadening availability of a wider variety of coldset-friendly paper stocks have benefitted the coldset cause. Kerns warns of the inroads heatset is making on price adjustments to become more competitive in an area universally accepted as being coldset's saving grace: greater affordability.
