Offset Printing--Pressing Ahead

Also shown was a new five-color, 143⁄16x201⁄2˝ Lithrone 20 Model L-520 press, suited for printing on substrates ranging from ultra-thin plastic to cardboard. As an option, the system can be specified with an in-line coating system that uses aqueous coatings, which allows direct stacking of sheets on the pile board without the use of powder. Upgraded for DRUPA was the company's two-color, 201⁄2x283⁄8˝ Sprint Model S228 press. Standard equipment now includes the Komorimatic dampening system; a touch-panel for centralized control of all press functions; improved feeder and delivery; and a gripper-to-gripper sheet-reversing mechanism.
