Another of KBA's popular two-across, two-around Comets will come on stream in mid-year at the Istanbul production plant of Turkish newspaper publishing house Feza Gazetecilik.
In addition to a retrofit package and a control upgrade for two sections, KBA will provide six new consoles for the complete installation and a diagnostics PC for remote maintenance.
The Comet's specification includes a 578mm (22.75") cut-off on web widths variable between 635mm and 840mm - 870mm (25" - 33" and 34.25") as well as a standard width of 800mm (31.5").
When the Comet press was first installed in 1995, KBA claimed that it was one of the first newspaper presses in the world to feature shaftless drives.
Part of the Zeta group, Iniciativas de Publicaciones e Impresion prints a number of periodicals along with daily titles that include Mundo del Siglo XXI, La Razon, Sport, Mundo Deportivo, three editions of 20 Minutos and Diario Cordoba.
Iniciativas de Publicaciones's managing director, Matias Morillo-Velarde Chiclana, commented: "Adding a further folder, printing towers and reelstands will enable us to produce up to four titles simultaneously and substantially increase the number of full-colour pages.

On top of that the wide choice of web leads will give us much greater flexibility in the production of newspapers with a high colour content, yet different page counts.".
