The Goss M-800 press prints at up
to 2,200 feet per minute (11 meters per second) and is equipped with a JF-70
Collect folder. The new model utilises proven design elements from existing
Goss press systems, including Sunday presses.
First customer Imprenta Ajusco in Mexico City will install a four-unit M-800
press to print a range of commercial products as well as books and heatset
tabloid newspapers. Goss International will equip the system with a Contiweb CS
splicer, Ecocool dryer and Omnicon controls. Imprenta Ajusco
added Goss M-600 presses in 2001 and 2003.
Bob Brown, CEO of Goss International says, "The
new M-800 press provides another option, in addition to our
advanced gapless presses, and introduces a unique combination of value and
performance advantages to the double-circumference commercial press sector".
He notes that the 32-page M-800 press can complement 16-page Goss M-600
and M-500 systems, and says, "Commercial printing facilities
that operate both 4×4 and 2×4 presses can gain efficiency and product versatility
while still maintaining a single web width and paper supply".
The M-800 press uses
conventional, flat blankets and incorporates several features from gapless
Goss Sunday presses. These include inking and dampening systems,
multidrive, an in-line cylinder stack, and bearerless cylinders. The JF-70
Collect folder allows the press to deliver up to 35,000 32-page signatures in
collect production or 70,000 16-page signatures in straight production.
