Web Offset Presses--The Hottest Of the Heatset

King Press, which offers several presses for the commercial market, also features shaftless design with its Media King 2000. The company's newest printing unit, the Newscolor IV, provides its users flexibility, as it may be used for heatset, as well as non-heatset, applications.

Competitive Capabilities
To offer competitive products in the printing market, manufacturers must go above and beyond the automation needs of commercial web printers. "Because today's presses are generally faster, wider and more productive, fewer of the machines will be required to accommodate the demand," points out Tim Klee, director of marketing services for Heidelberg Web Press.
