Goss International Press Technology at drupa
• A ‘world first’ expo appearance of a 96-page Sunday 5000 gapless blanket printing unit will be the highlight feature of the commercial zone. Now with multiple proven installations, the Sunday 5000 introduced the 2,860 mm (112 inch) web width to market, delivering new economies of scale to traditional web offset production models and making web offset commercially viable in the gravure sector as well. With features including full Autoplate and DigiRail digital inking, the Sunday 5000 is the most productive large format offset press ever developed. It capitalizes on its fast job changeovers, smart energy usage, and wide-web flexibility to cost-effectively deliver full tabloid and magazine down to slim-jim and digest formats.
Blanket changes and fully automated 96-page plate changes will be demonstrated on the Sunday 5000 unit at drupa. The unit is bound for Stark Druck in Germany after the show as part of a new installation that will make the company the world’s first site to run two 96-page web offset presses.
