SMALL-FORMAT PRESSES -- Small, But Powerful

"In simple terms, a 14x20˝ press would need to run over 26,000 impressions per hour to match the net output of the 13,000 impressions per hour of the 458EII/EPII," Grego explains. "Sakurai sees the future of the small, single- and two-color format presses fading away to the highly competitive four-color market. The largest growth market appears to be in this short run, high-quality, quick-turnaround format. At Sakurai, we feel that we have positioned ourselves in order to deliver the most productive machine in the industry."
