Offset Bigger than Ever at Drupa
Ryobi (distributed in the U.S. by xpedx) used Drupa to enter the full-size, 40˝ press market by showing its new five-color, 16,000 sph 1050-5 model. The new 1050 series, shipping in June 2009, combines an attractive price point with features such as double-diameter impression cylinders; moveable, shell-type skeleton transfer drums; optional in-line PQS Print Quality Control System; new PCS-L dual-monitor control system; and semi-automatic plate changers (auto plate changers optional). Available in two versions, the S format has a maximum 41.34x27.95˝ print area.
