WOA 50th ANNIVERSARY -- An Industry Time Line

1967—Edward Blank writes about the 1967 DRUPA exhibition. Offset printing volume by this date has surpassed letterpress and Blank correctly predicts the increase in offset presses from foreign manufacturers entering the U.S. market. Of significance at DRUPA '67 is the introduction of a variable-size cutoff press from Roland in Germany, with the ability to offer up to 10 trim sizes, in five colors, at speeds of 1,200 fpm.
