In a sampling of other litho press-related developments...Graph Expo marked the U.S. launch of the Grafix PowderMax spraying unit, which features a plate-dosing system with reliable dosing control for all printing powder types and powder applications...Diversified Graphic Machinery promoted the DGM Foildex system that applies cold foil in-line on a lithographic press. The unit allows foil to be applied only where necessary and stops the foil from the back of the last image to the front of the next sheet. Segmented shafts also allow multiple rolls of foil to be run across the press.
