MEGTEC Introduces New Ironman Integral Web Cooling Process System

DE PERE, WI—May 29, 2008—MEGTEC Systems announces the market introduction of the innovative Ironman Integral Web Cooling Process System for web offset presses.

“More and more printers are producing high quality work with lower grade paper and higher ink coverage. To work profitably the printing press needs to operate at or near optimum conditions – at maximum possible printing speed and with minimum paper waste” said Phil Strand, Vice President of MEGTEC Americas Printing Products Group. “It is not unusual to have ink coverage or ink characteristics that push up against the limits of the dryer specification, or beyond them. And when difficult-to-dry paper grades are used, solvent condensate streaking, ink build-up, and dryer smoking sometimes force the printer to reduce press speed, even while the product itself may yet be considered ‘dry’. Poor dryer adjustment or maintenance can further increase the gap between actual and maximum press speed.”
