Hong Kong based Paramount Printing has celebrated the start-up of a new Goss M-600 16-page web offset press, which augments production of a fleet of commercial web and sheetfed presses.

Complementing four existing web offset presses, the four-unit press with Goss Contiweb zero-speed splicer, Ecocool dryer and JF55 combination folder with double parallel and delta fold. Autoplate technology adds fully automated plate changing by a single operator, while press controls include presetting and real time status on the performance of the press from reelstand to folder.

Goss says th Ecocool dryer has also been equipped with an ‘anti-sweat’ system with water package closed loop system designed for high humidity climates. This prevents water in the air from condensing on the cold chill rolls during standby.

A subsidiary of Next Media Group, Paramount was established 30 years ago and has a dedicated North American sales office in Toronto. According to production director Yum Tak Hung, the company’s focus on high quality has been recognised through print awards in the USA, the UK, Germany and Poland as well as Hong Kong and China, and was the key factor in its selection of the M-600 press.

“We describe ourselves as ‘Paramount’ in both name and philosophy,” says Yum. “Through everything from graphic design and repro services, to print and finishing, our aim is to deliver a supreme service that will ensure we become the principal print supplier to our clients. We bring the creative flair, the technical expertise, experience and professionalism to help them fulfill their print needs and we look to our partners and equipment suppliers to help ensure that those standards are maintained for a cost-effective and high-quality product delivered on deadline.”

Goss International vice president Tim Mercy says the high-quality commercial print market is becoming highly contested among Chinese suppliers: “This press system gives Paramount one of the most versatile and high-tech print facilities in Hong Kong, raising their game once again both in terms of print performance and the value for money they can offer.”
