Torrey also said head-to-head print tests performed by commercial printers show Ryobi print quality is comparable and often superior to other major offset press manufacturers. "When it comes to bang for your production buck, the 750 series from Ryobi is hard to beat," Torrey explained.
xpedx and Ryobi will also discuss new details on Ryobi's new 40-inch press, the RYOBI 1050--as well as its inline UV casting and foiling system and energy-saving LED-UV curing unit. The 1050 and LED-UV curing unit will be available to U.S. customers in 2009; the inline UV casting and foiling system is available now.
The post-press area of the xpedx booth will be of interest to print professionals. Operating live will be a Morgana DigiFold automatic creaser/folder; a 20" Baumfolder; a Perfecta cutter; and an offline UV coating system from FMA, Inc. xpedx has signed national distribution agreements with C.P. Bourg and FMA.
