Grapho installs two new webs

The first two of Graphoprints three Goss presses have been fitted ahead of schedule at the firms Flintshire facility.

A new Agfa ApogeeX prepress workflow suite has also been installed, which the firm claimed will make it the first fully JDF-compliant state-of-the-art plant in the UK.

The installation of the presses and building of the new unit on the existing site follows a fire at the Deeside web printer in April this year, which nearly destroyed the plant and put four of its five presses out of action.

The first of the presses, a Goss M-600D, was installed a week earlier than originally planned, and was up and running in September.

A second M-600D with high-speed sheeter and folder has also been installed.
