Goss International Will Demonstrate New ‘Sheetfed Alternative’ Press at Drupa

Engineers from VITS and Goss International developed the new sheeter technology to cut and handle sheets at high speeds without the requirement of a dryer and to provide advanced control of anti set-off applications.

“In developing this unique press, we started with the objective of making it faster, easier and less costly to print high-quality sheeted products,” explains Jean-Claude Pautrat, product management director for Goss International. “We analyzed sheetfed and web offset workflows and integrated advantages from both, from paper supply, impression mechanisms, automated functions and auxiliaries to the creation of precisely aligned stacks of perfected sheets.”
