Web Offset Presses -- Spinning a Better Web

The Goss Sunday 3000/32, with its 72˝ web width, is able to print 32 magazine-size pages per revolution at speeds of up to 100,000 impressions per hour (iph). Gapless blanket Goss Sunday technology is vital to the new 2x8 format. The tubular blankets eliminate vibrations that would otherwise compromise speed and print quality with the wider, eight-pages-across cylinders. The first Sunday 3000/32 press systems in the U.S. went into production at Quad/Graphics and Arandell Corp. in 2004. Several additional presses will reportedly be installed this year.
