Goss to Champion a Competitive Advantage for Offset #Ipex

Akiyama MEGA Jprint perfecting

As a wholly-owned company of Shanghai Electric Corporation, Akiyama – a leader in sheetfed perfecting – will run its MEGA Jprint press live at IPEX. The presentation will highlight new features on the press including the ability to automatically change all plates simultaneously in three minutes. The MEGA Jprint was developed to improve the productivity and flexibility of sheetfed perfecting. Its B1 cylinders have a unique ‘impression-to-impression’ configuration which means that each side of a sheet is printed by separate units, positioned one above the other, with their own plate, blanket and impression cylinders. This enables the entire sheet to be printed on both sides without the need to leave gripper margins on the tail edge of the sheet. The system also optimizes sheet handling and registration with a subsequent press speed of 15,000 iph for four-over-four jobs.
