UV WEB OFFSET -- Future so Bright. . .

One of the "bells and whistles" the presses do offer is the MAPS (Magnum Automated Paper Saving) system, Steller points out. This system enables the offset printing towers to be made ready with the web in the stationary position. Ink is supplied to the ink train, plate and blanket prior to moving the web, he explains, and then the paper web is engaged by computerized controls that quickly bring the press up to the preset running speed.
