Goss press at Sankei Shimbun
Sankei Shimbun, the 6th most
circulated newspaper and one
of the five considered
“national” newspapers in Japan
has recently announced the
replacement of its six existing
double-width presses with the
purchase of four Goss Newsliner
90 presses at its Hokusetsu Center
printing facility in Osaka.
The publisher has ordered the new
presses for increased flexibility and
greater colour capacity for its
growing newspaper circulations. The
all four new presses will be
configured as two five-high towers,
two four-high towers, one folder and
four reel stands. In addition, it will
also include the award winning and
highly accurate Goss DigiRail digital
inking system. Besides, all presses
are capable of printing 32-pages in
full colour and are scheduled to be
on production during the year 2009.
This specification will give the
company a more flexible approach
for printing a variety of different
products. Adopting the five-high
configuration with the fifth unit
being a mono unit with open
fountain inking, they have gained
the ability to obtain a specific
colour that is difficult to reproduce
in full-color by colour separation.
