Goss Introduces Three-around Option for Newspaper Printing

Paper savings and operational advantages
Converting to Triliner technology saves paper by reducing the cutoff of the finished product by 33.3 percent. Operational advantages accrue in both straight and collect production.

In straight operation, each cylinder revolution produces three papers rather than two, with no increase in web speed. “A publisher producing a 22-inch newspaper at 50,000 copies per hour, for example, could produce 75,000 papers per hour in a 14.67-inch Triliner format,” explains Richards. “That added productivity can shorten the production window, allowing later press starts or earlier finishes, and it could open up time for commercial or contract printing opportunities.” Richards says that the added speed could also allow a newspaper to retain its current print window, while producing the full run on fewer presses.
