SMALL-FORMAT PRESSES -- Small, But Powerful

Leo Caproni III, general manager of Shinohara, predicts that small-format presses will continue to have a positive future. To wit, his company offers a wide range of presses for different printing budgets. Its high-end machines feature labor-saving devices such as CIP3/CIP4 interfaces, which allow files to be sent to the press console directly from the prepress department. Also featured on Shinohara presses are automatic plate changers, remote consoles with control of ink key opening, ink fountain roller sweep and dampening fountain roller speed.
