Chinese printer C&C Joint Printing – which also operates as a research base for commercial web print standards in the country – has ordered a ninth Goss M-600 heatset press.

The installation will be its 11th new press from the now China-owned maker, having installed its first, also an M-600 in 1998.

Chief executive Jackson Leung says the company’s strong focus on ‘green’ issues was a key factor in the specification of technologies designed for low waste and low energy consumption: “We are highly committed to providing a sustainable solution that will ensure print maintains its profile within the media mix for many years to come.

“Today’s Goss M-600 package supports this objective with efficiencies that improve productivity and reduce waste.”

Rated at up to 61,000 impressions per hour, the new 16-page press with 598.5mm cut-off and 965mm web width will feature automatic plate changing and a JF55 Plus folder with quarterfold capabilities and a four and eight-page module for added versatility.

The fourth M-600 press at the Beijing facility, it will also be equipped with a Goss SH splicer and Ecocool dryer with integrated afterburner, closed-loop controls and Goss Web Center technology for automated makereadies, presetting and control.

The company currently has eight M-600 presses and two Goss Sunday 2000 presses now installed across a number of plants for high-quality commercial and magazine printing. In its role as China’s designated ‘National Commercial Web Offset Standards Research Base’, it employs its Goss presses in print tests aimed at developing optimum standards for the commercial web offset industry in China.

“C&C has spearheaded the campaign to offer true, high-quality print within the Chinese market, so that today their name is synonymous with the highest standards,” Goss Asia commercial web press sales vice president Tim Mercy says. “We are very proud that our M-600 press has not only kept step with the requirements of such an influential leader in the Chinese market, but also enabled them to broaden their long-term business and environmental objectives.”
