PRINT 09: Fast Presses, Slow Show - Page 28 of 32

By Erik Cagle , Mark Michelson and Bob Neubauer

Known more for its folding machines and related bindery equipment, Baum introduced a small-format offset press at the show, the BaumPrint 18. Manufactured at Baumfolder's Sidney, Ohio, factory, the new press features bearer-to-bearer pressure for consistent dot transfer, longer plate and blanket life, and sensor-controlled pile feeding. It has electronic sheet-travel monitoring, precise sheet alignment, helical gearing, and an AutoPlate integrated register system. It also has a laser-slit knife-type ink fountain and automatic blanket wash-up. Numbering, imprinting and longitudinal perforation can be done in a single pass.
