Universal Press Boosts Print And Colour Capacity
With the objective of increasing overall printing and colour capacity, Societa Tipografica Siciliana has ordered a Goss Universal 75 press, which will be installed next summer.
In addition to other titles and some export contract work, the extended press will print the Gyor's morning newspaper, Kisalfold, which is said to be the highest circulation regional title in the country, as well as the Budapest Sun, a general interest English language newspaper for the Budapest area.
The extension will also add 16 tabloid pages of colour to Kisalfold, providing additional editorial cache and advertising potential for a newspaper that has a reputation for community initiatives, including raising the funds and organising the construction of a home for autistic adults.
According to John Chambers, Goss International's sales director for the UK and Ireland, the reconfiguration of the Universal press will be relatively simple due to the modularity and flexibility of the system.
He explained: "You can twist, turn and move the units of a Universal press just like the blocks of a Rubik's Cube.
This is a single-floor press with seven reelstands at right angles to the units, which makes it very easy to operate, and to re-configure with almost no disruption." Balazs Szabady, production manager at Gyor, said: "The efficiency of the new installation is very important to us.
This press has performed exceptionally well for almost 13 years and has consistently allowed us to get around 80,000 copies of Kisalfold on the streets, on time, from Monday to Saturday.
Its reliability is due to the robust construction, the good maintenance team and the Goss Lifetime Support services.".
