Canadian sheetfed printer opts Goss for first web press

One of eastern Canada’s leading sheetfed printers will add its first web press – a Goss Sunday 2000 system with a 57-inch (1450 mm) web width – in mid 2011. Imprimerie FL Chicoine run by the husband-and-wife team will establish a new Imprimerie FL Web division.

The new Sunday 2000 press at Imprimerie FL Web will feature Goss Omnicon controls and the automated Goss Web Center workflow system. Goss International will supply a Contiweb CS splicer and an Ecocool dryer with the system as well as a PCF-1 combination folder and a PFF-2 former folder.  Gapless blanket technology and the wider 24-page format are expected to provide quality, productivity and efficiency advantages over typical 16-page web presses.
