GRAPH EXPO WRAP-UP -- Traditional Offset Gets a Booster Shot

From an open systems standpoint, both MAN Roland and Komori illustrated their interface capabilities with Printcafe as part of the computer-integrated manufacturing workflow of the future.

In addition, MAN Roland announced the sale of seven new six- and eight-color Roland 300 (29˝) and Roland 700 (41˝) presses. Several of MAN's new PECOM modules, JobPilot and PressMonitor, were also purchased by existing customers. According to company officials, a six-color Rotoman web press was sold, and letters of intent were signed for both a Cromoman web and a Lithoman insert web press. One of the six-color Roland 700s went to FCL Graphics, Harwood Heights, IL—its fourth 706 installed since 1994.
