Offset Presses Medium & Small Have It All

New Three-quarter Format

The big news in smaller offset presses, according to Christian Cerfontaine, director of marketing for MAN Roland, is what he calls the 3⁄4 format—a half-size machine that's been increased to a six-up configuration.

"That allows printers to get 50 percent more productivity—in the form of two extra pages—on every impression they make," he says. "MAN Roland literally invented this format, and we continue to be the leader in this growing segment. For instance, we now offer two completely unique 29˝ press lines—the ROLAND 300 and the ROLAND 500. Each offers a set of special features and capabilities designed to help printers go after and win new printing projects."
