Small- & Medium-Format Sheetfed Presses -- Pressing into 2004

At Graph Expo, KBA North America announced the new Genius 52 sheetfed offset press. The 20˝ keyless, waterless press is designed for quick printers, in-plants and commercial printers. The maximum sheet size is 201⁄2x13˝, available with four or five printing units.

In today's competitive market, minimal make-ready waste is mandatory, adds Wally Chmura, Komori America's national accounts product manager. "The margins on every piece a printer produces are getting smaller, and run lengths are getting shorter. Printers need to maximize the performance of their press by utilizing all of the automation available on the printing press."
