Coldset Web Offset -- No Heat, No Sweat

Matik represents the Goebel Novaprint line, a shaftless, 1,500 fpm, variable-cutoff press for UV or heatset. The Novaprint is offered in widths of 201⁄2˝, 27˝ and 30˝, and attracts a variety of markets, from book and magazine printers to direct mail printers.

Quality improvements in coldset printing, resulting from process control, press technology, materials and auxiliary equipment, are helping to make coldset more viable, according to Dave Moreland, vice president of sales and marketing for Dauphin Graphic Machines. Its cost effectiveness—lower capital costs, cost per thousand, materials costs and savings in environmental considerations—further make coldset a more attractive proposition.
