WKS, manroland Web Systems Unveil 160-page Press

Dr. Ralph Dittmann, manager of WKS, was impressed by the 160-page LITHOMAN press at its official start of production. “For this project, we approached the press technology purely from the perspective of our customers," he said. "We intensively analyzed our customers’ needs regarding the flexibility of page numbers, formats and product design, and tried to implement them as far as possible. As a result, a press was developed, which, on the one hand, consists of conventional press components that have never before (been) combined in this way (two-web 80-page press). On the other hand, we also devised our own conceptions on folding technology that have given rise to extensive new designs at press supplier companies. Our new LITHOMAN press design now reflects our technological concepts regarding flexible and economic production.”
