Prinpia of Seoul (South Korea) is currently installing a new Goss M-600 web offset press to meet rising demands for shorter runs of high-quality print in the local market.

Installation will be completed in April, following which, Prinpia expects to expand its monthly magazine print business.

Running a fleet of web offset and sheetfed presses, Prinpia - part of the Chunjae Group - currently supplies a range of commercial print products, from text books to department store inserts.

The new 16-page press has been specified to boost production capacity for the company's high-end, full-colour portfolio.

Printing at claimed speeds of up to 55,000 impressions per hour, the new five-unit Goss M-600 press for Prinpia has a 546mm cut-off and Omnicon controls.

The press system features a JF-55 folder, including a rotary chopper fold assembly to ensure maximum production flexibility.

According to An Nam Geug, a director of Prinpia, higher automation and colour control are the key features of the Goss M-600 press that will facilitate its business growth opportunity.

He said: "In South Korea today we find that customers are increasingly expecting a very high general standard of print but at the same time they need delivery in shorter time frames than ever before.

The only way to fulfill these expectations is by investing in better automation and proven technology, so that we can achieve the highest quality, maintain it throughout each job and repeat it time after time.

This, principally, is why we decided on the M-600 system.

Its robust build and easy operability are additional advantages that helped convince us in this decision.".
