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

On the web offset front, Heidelberg showcased its Autoplate system now available on the gapless Sunday 2000 web press, as well as presented Prinect PrepressInterface technology that can be used to preset web and sheetfed presses.

It also introduced an A24 version of its 16-page M-600 press. Gardena, CA-based Southwest Offset Printing, a short-run publication printer, will be the first site in North America to install the press this fall.
