Goss web press for direct mail and special print

Quad Graphics will install a new Goss Sunday 2000 web press at its newly renovated Quad Direct headquarters in Pewaukee, Wisconsin (USA) this summer.

The six-unit Goss press will feature a unique cut-off and web width.

Goss International will supply a Contiweb CS splicer and an Ecocool dryer with the press system, which Quad Graphics will use to produce direct mail and speciality products.

The press will replace older technology that will be taken out of service, allowing the Quad Direct operation to achieve higher print quality and productivity with less waste, said Goss.

Goss added that the Sunday 2000 press model is emerging as an ideal choice for direct mail and speciality printing applications.

Graham Trevett, Goss International's vice president for commercial web sales in North America, explained: 'This is an agile press that excels at short-run work, as well as on long runs, and it is a versatile press that can be customized through a range of cut-off, web width, configuration and integrated auxiliary options.

Quad Graphics currently operates 25 Goss Sunday presses at web offset production facilities throughout the United States.

The company has also installed more than 100 Goss Pacesetter and Universalbinder finishing systems since 1980.

Tim Sands, Quad Graphics' vice president of press operations, said: 'We continuously invest in new press technology across our facilities to make sure our customers have access to the most productive and efficient systems available.

The addition of this new Goss press will give us one of the most robust, innovative platforms in the direct mail industry to support our clients' continued focus on targeted communications.
