Offset Presses Medium & Small Have It All

Grafitec America recently introduced the 29˝ Polly Prestige 74, with semi-automatic plate changing and automatic plate cocking. The 19-roller inking train and 23-zone ink fountain react rapidly to ink adjustments and provide stability of ink feed. The press is rated at 13,000 sph.

"The small- and medium-format sheetfed press is not just an entry-level machine any more—not just used to fit a niche," stresses Randy Siver, business development manger, sheetfed presses, for Mitsubishi Lithographic Presses. "Some printers with 40˝ presses are supplementing what they do with half-size machines. Those presses are fully automated—just as automated as anything else we sell."
