Goss Showcasing Newspaper Printers at WPE 2014

Goss International will emphasize the capabilities of its newspaper printing products at World Publishing Expo 2014, with particular focus on the newest addition to its single-width press range, the Goss Magnum Compact press. 

“Goss has long maintained leadership of the single-width market, which has given us a solid footing in the most vibrant newspaper printing arenas today,” says Eric Bell, director of marketing services for Goss International, “Today’s growth areas are dominated by smaller printers and publishers who are adept at seizing opportunities to expand their portfolio. Goss recognized the potential for these customers of establishing a new minimum for press downtime and makeready waste. Our response has been to extend many of the efficiency and print quality features of its higher-end presses to provide unprecedented press utilization for smaller printers.”

According to the company, the Goss Magnum Compact press is the world’s first and only 2×1 web offset press with automatic plate changing, delivering the ability to change the plates in less than one minute and to complete a full job changeover in less than five minutes. It supports multi-product business models, from traditional production volumes to ultra-short run lengths as low as 500 copies.

“Goss International is sharply focused on the new landscape of today’s newspaper publishing environment. We’re continually re-evaluating our product offerings to ensure we have a portfolio relevant to that vision,” explains Bell. “The Goss Magnum Compact innovation is a prime example where we have succeeded in engineering truly competitive advantages for a market poised to challenge digital’s claims on print.”
