Sakurai revives A1 format

摘要

The newly launched Sakurai 596SD is aimed at 97 per cent of work done on B1 presses that could transfer to the A1 format. Charlie Scandrett, managing director of Australian supplier, PressNet, told Australian Printer at drupa that the 596 would prove a highly economical press. He estimates printers will save around 30 per cent of the cost of a B1 press, and be up for lower plate and blanket costs. The Sakurai 596SD has automated ink feeding, automated ink temperature control, automated cylinder and blanket washing, and is available in up to six units plus coater.
