FASTEST PRINTER IN THE WORLD

Fastest printer in the world
Mitsubishi Heavy
Industries is taking aim at the U.S. and European newspaper markets
with a family of presses that includes the vendor’s first 4-by-1
shaftless double-wide press.

At a briefing conducted here in March, Nobuo Kiyama, director and
general manager of Mitsubishi’s paper and printing machinery division,
told Newspapers & Technology that despite the current “flat”
market, the vendor intends to beef up its Lincolnshire, Ill., sales
office and tout press technologies it maintains are robust enough to
attract interest among North American publishers.

The new 4-by-1 DiamondSpirit press, which Mitsubishi maintains is the
industry’s fastest 4-by-1, uses a narrow-gap design for both plate and
blanket cylinders to reduce vibration, Kiyama said. The machine,
available now, is capable of producing 80,000 copies per hour.
