Sakurai 96 Series, 16-page Press to Make North American Debut at GRAPH EXPO ‘07

The Sakurai 96 Series press has been exhibited in Japan with favorable response and considerable interest and will make its North America debut at Graph Expo ‘07, September 9-12, 2007 in Chicago, IL.

“Sakurai is the first and only press manufacturer to offer a press series which reflects the original North American size, built by North American press manufacturers, before all manufacturing went offshore in the 70’s. Most sheets that run on 16-page format presses today are 25” x 38” and this new size was designed with that in mind. Staying true to Sakurai’s tradition of supplying fully automated - yet economically priced presses, the new Model 96 will be well received by printers facing the extremely competitive market for print”, Bence said.
