Offset Printing--Pressing Ahead

In the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries booth, a 32-page Diamond 32 press was running. A CIP3 interface preset the ink keys. Fully automated, the four-around, four-across press was equipped with a double chopper folder. Mitsubishi has also reintroduced its Diamond 16 Z one-to-one press into the U.S. market. Shipping to Lithographix in California this November will be a single web, 223⁄4 x38˝, eight-unit model equipped with Mitsubishi's sleeve offset technology and a pinless folder. For sheetfed work, Mitsubishi has upgraded its offerings for the carton and label industries. The 5F and 6F are now offered at higher rated running speeds and can handle a wider range of stock thicknesses.
