Goss International to showcase advanced web offset solutions at Graphics of the Americas 2008
Tuesday 15. January 2008 - Goss International will showcase the benefits of its wide range of web offset solutions for newspaper and commercial web production plus Goss Lifetime Support services at the 2008 Graphics of the Americas show in Miami, Florida, February 28 - March 1.
On booth # 468, special emphasis will be placed on products ideally suited for the requirements of the Latin American market, including the best-selling single-width Goss Community SSC press as well as the Goss Magnum 4 newspaper press. The productivity features as well as space and efficiency of the single-width, one around Magnum 4 press has led to increasing interest and a growing number of orders from the worldwide market since its launch in 2006.
In addition, the 2008 Graphics of the Americas show will highlight the Goss M-500, M 600, M-800 and Sunday presses, along with cutting-edge features such as gapless blankets, pinless folders and Automatic Transfer technology.
The M-800 press is the newest addition to the Goss commercial product portfolio, and will have its first installation at Imprenta Ajusco in Mexico City in 2008. This 4×4 press utilizes proven design elements including inking and dampening systems, multidrive, in-line cylinder stacks and bearerless cylinders from the popular Goss Sunday press series. It can be equipped with a JF-70 collect folder to print up to 35,000, 32-page signatures per hour in collect mode or 70,000 16-page signatures in straight production.
Phil Burke, director of commercial press sales for the Latin American region, commented, “We offer our customers a range of technology options in all formats to suit any product format, run length or special requirements, from the M-500 or M-600 16-page press options, to the Sunday press series ranging from 24- up to 96-page models. The new 32-page M-800 press is a perfect example of how we are able to respond to market demands and deliver new solutions for our customers.”
With its Latin American operation based in Miami, Goss International will be available during the three-day show to discuss the full range of Goss newspaper and commercial web press solutions including the innovative Flexible Printing System (FPS) press and the 2×1 and 2×2 Universal press series. Goss Lifetime Support services including press additions, rebuilds and press enhancement programs, as well as 24/7 parts capabilities are available through Goss Internationals Miami office and a network of agents based in Latin America.
Ernesto Oliveira, Goss International vice president of Latin America Operations, summarized, “The Latin American market is characterized by an innovative approach across all aspects of commercial and newspaper printing and for all scales of operation. Whether large or small, printers here continually look for new ways to meet their customers needs and enhance their own business at the same time. Goss Internationals persistent objective is to create value for our customers through technology and service.
“We would like to invite customers to visit us on the booth at Graphics of the Americas so we can demonstrate to them how our differentiating technology solutions have helped numerous printers enhance their competitiveness and achieve long-term business goals.”
