Unique Press for Japs-Olson
ST. LOUIS PARK, MN—The world’s first Goss Sunday 2000 web press equipped to complete four-color job changes without stopping for a makeready is being installed by Japs-Olson. The 24-page, single-web press will include eight Goss automatic transfer (AT) printing units, providing on-the-fly print transfer. With the press printing, operators will be able to complete a makeready for a new job on four idle units, then bring those units on impression while simultaneously taking the four units printing the previous job off impression.
