By: E&P Staff The Free Lance-Star, Fredericksburg, Va., has decided to add a Goss Ecocool heatset dryer with integrated chill rolls to one of the towers on the triplewide Goss Flexible Printing System it ordered earlier this year (E&P Online, Jan. 5).
Installation of the 90,000-cph press, dual-delivery Goss Magnapak packaging system (equipped for both polywrapping and inserting) and Ferag press gripper and storage components is to begin by next summer.
Heatset is part of the first FPS installation, in Newry, Ireland (E&P Online, April 5). "Adding a dryer makes a very versatile press even more versatile and will allow us to deliver higher print quality and more product options to our readers, advertisers and contract print partners," Free Lance-Star Operations Director John Jenkins said in a statement. The FPS installation in Fredericksburg is the first in the U.S.
Built for a 72-inch web width, the The Free Lance-Star's FPS will include two 2:5:5 jaw folders and four Contiweb FD pasters. Run in straight mode, the press will be able to produce 96-page broadsheet products in full color and semi-commercial products with ribbon widths up to 36 inches.
