ON THE ROAD -- Swiss Make History

Hoping to make a bit of history of its own—although admittedly not on the same scale as the aforementioned events—Stämpfli, a sixth-generation, family owned commercial printer here in the Alps-shadowed Swiss capital, has installed the world's first heatset version of the MAN Roland DICOweb press.

A contingent of more than 20 international trade journalists visited the company's new $24 million, 140,000-square-foot facility in late April. The new plant houses the DICOweb, three sheetfed presses and a toner-based digital printing system.
