UV WEB OFFSET -- Future so Bright. . .

A desire for higher quality color, and more of it, is the biggest overall trend Aumann has seen among potential buyers of the Kluge Web Press System. Along with offering web towers that can support more ink coverage, he says the key features of the press include shaftless drives and a modular design. "Having electronically controlled, independent drives for each station in the press improves print registration and speeds makeready," he notes. "The modular design means a printer can start with a four-color press and then upgrade to six or more units, allowing the press to grow with the business. It also gives buyers flexibility in terms of in-line finishing options."
