NEWSPAPER PRESSES -- Pressing Issues

The Cortina features a four-high tower design that is only about 11 feet tall, thereby reducing space requirements and the demands on the press crew, Owen notes. It has dedicated drives for each cylinder and inking unit, so no oil is used in the press. Other features include a maximum rated output of 80,000 cph (singe or double width), semi-automatic plate changing with pneumatic plate clamping, self-adjusting blanket clamps, and roller locks with automatic preset function.
