Segerdahl Adds Big Goss Web

Direct mail printer Segerdahl Corp. will install a large-format Goss web press system with non-stop production and inline finishing capabilities. The printer will add a 7-unit Sunday 4000 web press with Automatic Transfer and autoplate technologies at its printing facility in Wheeling, IL. The press, set for startup in early 2009, will feature a 75x45.5´´ cylinder configuration and be equipped with inline finishing components from Scheffer Web Finishing.

The press will also be equipped with a Contiweb FD paster with 60´´ roll diameter capacity, an Ecocool dryer with integrated chill rolls and Goss Web Center digital workflow modules. Segerdahl manufacturing VP John Romita says the new press system will be unique in the direct mail industry and reflects the company's continuous focus on new, creative production capabilities.

“We always look at things that aren't being done and figure out how to do them to allow our customers to produce high-impact products, save time and money, and ultimately improve the effectiveness of their marketing efforts,” he says.

The large format of the double-circumference Sunday press, combined with Scheffer inline finishing system, says Romita, will deliver high productivity and versatility.

“The ability to change jobs on the fly with the automatic transfer technology is something that only Goss International offers,” he explains. “This kind of innovation will make some new products and new production scenarios possible for our customers.” segerdahl.com
