Visitors to the Baldwin stand - 4J213 - at IFRA 2005 will hear about the company's press accessory and control equipment for the newspaper printing industry At IFRA Baldwin will feature its newspaper grade products, systems and services, which the company believes can enable a new standard of quality and financial performance to be achieved from a newspaper press

The company said that newspapers around the world use Baldwin products to produce eye-catching colour, reduce unscheduled pressroom downtime and maintenance, cut down paper waste and dust in the press hall, whilst improving manpower efficiency and minimising the use of solvents and VOCs in the printing process.

Baldwin's products are designed for use with single and double width newspaper presses.

They include the Impact automatic blanket cleaning systems, which reduce make-ready times on the press, eliminate solvent handling and are virtually VOC-free, said the company.

The Impact system incorporates Baldwin's impregnated Prepac cleaning cartridge, which is an environmentally friendly media for cleaning virtually any blanket.

The Prepac cloth contains the exact amount of solution to clean the blanket between jobs and after use is automatically moved on so that fresh cloth is ready for the next blanket clean.

In addition, Baldwin can deliver the system as a Flex technology option, enabling the customer to use Impact either with a Prepac cloth, or with a dry cloth material, readily available throughout the industry, should they wish to do so.

Other products include the Jetstream 1000, which presents a new approach to web cleaning resulting in improved print quality, reduced downtime and greater profitability.

The Jetstream 1000, combined with the Impact blanket cleaning system, creates web press cleaning method that is said to be economical to operate.

Baldwin's range of cleaning products also includes Tower Clean, which provides a series of options for single width presses that can be extended to suit application and budget requirements.

The company's Litho Spray is a spray dampening system, which features a patented nozzle and advanced control system called Constant C.

Spray dampening systems have been available on the market for several years but have always suffered from the potential of the nozzles to block, in the company's opinion.

Baldwin's Constant C provides an air curtain around the nozzle tip to keep ink mist and debris away, ensuring that nozzles remain unblocked during production.

The Litho Spray units are said to be easy to install and maintain, are suitable for a range of web offset presses and apply the minimum amount of water necessary to uniformly dampen the printing plate.
