Goss International introduces a new, highly automated single-width web offset press (2x1) for the production of newspapers, books and semi-commercial publications: Magnum Compact.

Among its features Goss emphasises its fast make-ready, simplified operation and run-length flexibility. Automatic plate changing is included as standard.

The compact towers (2.2 m height) of the press provide operational benefits and simplified maintenance as the opening of the inker units allows simple, single-level access to blankets, rubber rollers and ink ducts for cleaning and setting.

 “Tackling the main sources of cost in printing, the Magnum Compact design
incorporates features for reducing overheads – including crew sizes – and materials consumption into a press design that facilitates a wider application range,” says Eric Bell, Goss International marketing director.

The press is presented for the first time at China Print, May 14-18 in Beijing.
