NEWSPAPER PRESSES -- Creating Commercial Niches

MAN Roland manufactures the four-page Cromoman, the Uniset, the Geoman and its flagship, 16-page newspaper web press—the Colorman—which was shown at IPEX in a 24-page version. Its top speed ranges to 86,000 copies per hour.

"Newspapers are creating a commercial niche and an additional revenue stream for themselves with the production of flyers for discount stores, supermarkets and the like. So the more color and the higher print quality we can give them, the better they like it," reveals Simon.
