Web Offset Presses--The Hottest Of the Heatset

Strachan Henshaw Machinery helps printers in the one-color book market reduce press downtime and consequently increase uptime with its VARIQUIK printing system. Eric Williams, sales manager, printing press division, describes the VARIQUIK as "the web press for the sheetfed printer."

VARIQUIK features a print tower that contains three common or different-size print cylinders. While printing on one cylinder, plating-up can take place in safety mode on the other two, contributing to reduction in makeready time.
