GRAPH EXPO & CONVERTING EXPO 2004 Offset Printing -- Perfector

Presses with two AT units can be used for single-color version changes. A press line with eight AT units can complete four-color changeovers without stopping.

Atlanta-based Geographics will install a Sunday 2000 AT-equipped web press in early 2005.

Sheetfed perfecting was also a major theme at the Mitsubishi Lithographic Presses (MLP U.S.A.) booth. Stevens Graphics, reportedly the third largest directory printer in the United States, purchased the new eight-color, 40˝ Mitsubishi Diamond 3000TP Tandem Perfector with tower coater that was demonstrated in the Mitsubishi exhibition area. It was delivered to Stevens Graphics' manufacturing plant in Birmingham, AL, at the conclusion of the show.
