It uses the company’s patented lightweight sleeve system for the complete size range, or lightweight plate cylinders capable of convenient sleeve use. The design reduces tooling costs and eliminates incremental print repeat lengths.

It operates at speeds of at least 1200’/min, PW is told, and can handle web widths of up to 1.5 m (59”).
