RR Donnelley currently has 20 inkjet web presses installed around the country, Schneider reported, and the plan is to install one press per month for the next 18 months. “Buy when we can, build when we have to” is the approach the printer takes with all technological advancements, she said.

With the addition of its recently announced 60˝ version, Donnelley’s ProteusJet proprietary (and not for sale) digital printing platform now spans 20˝ to 60˝ widths. All models offer a 1,200x600 dpi resolution, and print at 800 fpm (one- or two-color) or 400 fpm (four-color). Initial applications include books, transactional documents and direct mail.
