Goss offers 'new way for print' with Drupa showcase

Goss International will use Drupa to exhibit a range of equipment, including the new 96pp Sunday 5000 web press.

The company, which has adopted the theme 'New Ways for Print' for the show, will demonstrate an expanded application range for web offset production, at the fair in Düsseldorf from 29 May to 11 June.

A new Goss press system will be in full operation at the show, while additional printing unit exhibits on the Goss International stand in hall 17 will include the Magnum 4, Uniliner, FPS and Sunday 4000 models, all with new features and capabilities. The company will also highlight the world's first 96pp Sunday 5000 web press and demonstrate its latest Magnapak and Pacesetter finishing systems.

The Sunday 5000 press and present simulations are designed to show how gapless blanket technology, precision machining and cooperation with auxiliary and consumables suppliers enable the wider platform. The first Sunday 5000 press is due to be installed in Italy later this year, with a web width of 2,860mm.

Goss International chief executive Bob Brown said: "Goss innovations like our M-600, Uniliner, Sunday, and FPS press platforms and DigiRail, Ecocool, Autoplate and Pacesetter technologies have been groundbreaking highlights of recent Drupa shows. We will extend this record of technology leadership this year and emphasise how we are working with companies of all sizes and requirements to create unique new opportunities."

Among the developments are new technologies aimed at shorter run lengths and higher pagination. The company now has more than a dozen presses with the Autoplate and Automatic Transfer technology combination in operation worldwide, including eight-unit presses that complete full-colour job changes on the fly.
