Graph Expo A Pleasant Surprise

Sakurai was in top form as it introduced the 26˝ 466SIP press. It's an automatic, four-color convertible perfector that runs at a speed of 15,000 impressions per hour. The press also comes with touch-screen controls and CIP4 integration, not to mention automatic roller washers and plate changers.

At the Halm booth, the two-color Super Jet envelope press made for an interesting display, with liquid flowing continuously through transparent tubes on the side of the press. The Super Jet can print both sides simultaneously up to a 9x12˝ envelope. It handles 30,000 envelopes per hour printing both sides, or 60,000 an hour printing one side.
