If you've ever seen a huge newspaper printing press in operation with large cylinders rotating and newsprint paper flying through in a fast, continuous stream, you've viewed a room-size example of a classic web press. Web presses are used for high-volume printing at a faster pace, producing large quantities of products in less time. Web presses use several connected units for different functions, such as printing different colors of ink, symmetrically positioning print format, cutting, folding, and hole punching—all in line—so a finished product rolls off the end of the press, ready for distribution.
This web press has the ability to print multiple variations of up to either 10 colors. It features in-line die cutting, remoist pattern gluing, scratch and sniff, applied scents, and can deliver either on a roll for lasering or sheets to fold and cut. Products are completed with uncoated stock and a matte/silk coated finish.
