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

Ron Haug Inc., an Elk Grove Village, IL-based trade binder, purchased its fourth Wohlenberg 137 cut-tec cutter. And Salem Printing, of Winston-Salem, NC, bought a Kama diecutter to augment its existing six-up, 23x29˝ Roland 300 press.

A coater version of KBA's 20x29˝ digital offset press, the 74 Karat, made its U.S. debut. Job changes on the four-color press take less than 17 minutes. One of the advantages of the machine's new aqueous coater is that the sheets can be finished immediately or passed through the press a second time as soon as the plates have been re-imaged.
