By: E&P Staff In yet another recent press sale featuring UV inking, Goss International reports an order for a Goss Community press from Grupo Sinos after the Brazilian media company observed recent installations at printing houses in Panama and Venezuela.
The investment in the five-tower press was made to increase color capacity across all group publications and the approximately 40 titles it prints for third parties, ranging from newspapers with paginations as low as four pages up to 40 pages in full color, and from local titles to special sections of the company's flagship, Jornal NH.
The shaftless Community will have two SSC folders and one tower will be dedicated to UV printing. The two-folder configuration and UV capability will provide the flexibility to print coldset newspapers and quality semi-commercial products.
The press will be supplied with zero-speed splicers and NP600 infeeds for each four-high tower, providing improved web guidance and tension.
"Flexibility and ease-of-use ... is particularly valuable to this project because of the high volume of jobs they deliver on a daily basis," Julio Gostisa, sales manager for Goss International in Latin America, said in a statement.
Noting the trend in Brazil to publish popular full-color tabloids, Gostisa added that "each major player in the market has been obligated to create a newspaper to compete. Grupo Sinos has always been one step ahead of the game, partly because the company retains its flexibility for customers."
Started as a newspaper business in 1957 by brothers Mario and Paulo Gusmao, Grupo Sinos today also owns radio stations and provides Internet services.
