05/25/2000
The publishers and printers of one of England's leading daily
newspapers made their presence known at drupa, by announcing intent
to place an order for Heidelberg Mainstream presses that is among
the largest in the show's history
The Telegraph Group intends to use seven Mainstream presses with a total of 263 printing couples at two locations. Five presses are ear-marked for West Ferry Printers, Ltd. In London. The Trafford Park Printers, Ltd. Plant in Manchester would install two Mainstreams.
The new presses are required to meet a growing need for additional, high-quality color capacity. The ability of the gapless, double-width Heidelberg press to print as many as 80,000 copies per hour in straight multi-section production also featured in the decision.
West Ferry Printers and Trafford Park Printers are the printers for The Daily Telegraph, which has a circulation of approx. 1.1 million copies and The Sunday Telegraph with a circulation of approx. 820,000 copies. West Ferry Printers and Trafford Park Printers are two of the world's leading newspaper printing sites, producing 38 million copies per week which includes the Express, Guardian and Financial Times. "The Telegraph Group is one of Europe's most prestigious newspapers operations, and this large order is a strong endorsement for our gapless press technology and our commitment to serving the newspaper industry as a leading solutions provider," according to Heidelberg Web Systems president Bob Brown. "We look forward to a long, successful partnership."
At West Ferry Printers, one Mainstream press will run up to ten webs. Two additional presses, each featuring ten printing towers, will be configured with corresponding adjacent four-tower presses, to provide variable web options. The ten-tower and four-tower combination will be duplicated for the two presses at Trafford Park Printers. The Mainstream press order includes a total of 52 FD Pasters and seven JF-255 jaw folders, all supplied by Heidelberg.
The Telegraph Group is owned by Hollinger Group, which also has major interests in U.S. and Canadian newspapers.
