Crowds Return to Graph Expo
• Océ displayed a JetStream 1000 color inkjet web press.
• InfoPrint Solutions showed its smaller footprint InfoPrint 5000 MP (multi-purpose) continuous forms inkjet printer.
• HP’s much touted 600-fpm T350 Color Inkjet Web Press appeared only on video.
The absence of the big offset vendors—and the decisions of manroland, KBA North America and Goss International to leave their presses at home—made offset presses difficult to spot at Graph Expo. Baum had one, the small-format, two-color BaumPrint 18. Epson kept a Ryobi press on hand to help demonstrate its new Stylus Pro 7900CTP metal platesetting system. And Gronhi Graphics was showing off the Chinese-made GH524 four-color sheetfed offset press, though it was tucked away in a back corner.
