Offset Bigger than Ever at Drupa
Offset presses were popular at Drupa, with large-format and short-run presses grabbing the spotlight.
Akiyama International displayed a MEGA Jprint 40 series sheetfed press with in-line double coaters. The new version of the JP440 model runs at 15,000 sph, while the JP540 hits speeds of 14,000 sph. Improvements include a new sucker head for control of paper feeding; a new mechanism to prevent sheet overruns; two additional transfer cylinders in the delivery section to suppress paper movement; and optional, automatic plate changers.
