Goss to continue New Ways for Print theme at Print 09

Web press specialist Goss International is to continue its New Ways for Print theme that it took to Drupa 2008 at this year's Print 09.

At the exhibition, the US manufacturer has a 650sqm booth at which it will be demonstrating a number of its latest products and technologies, including a demonstration of its flagship tie-up with Ferag.

Cecilia Chou, marketing manager at Goss International, said: "While there will be no running press on display, we will be demonstrating our finishing equipment live, as well as there being a micro-theatre to show different technologies in action."

The tie-up with Ferag, which began with the launch of a Pacesetter+Ferag saddlestitcher at Drupa 2008, will see a live demonstration of the STR-100 conveying technology, together with a Multilog bundler.

According to Joe Colletti, president and chief executive of Ferag, the show is primarily an "opportunity to discuss new ideas with printers and publishers".

The latest generation Ferag Multilog bundler, which will operate alongside the STR-100 conveyor, can process a range of signature formats, page counts and stock weights at up to 100,000 copies per hour, the company said.

Chou said that another highlight at the show would be demonstrations on how to reduce waste and save money, which includes showcasing the Ecobox and Ecochill heatset dryer enhancements.
