Newsprinters gets Muller kit

Newsprinters, the contract newspaper printing subsidiary of London-based Newsfax International, has installed Muller Martini post-press systems to handle output from its two MAN Roland Uniset 70 presses.

The company, which prints an undisclosed portion of the Financial Times and the UK edition of the International Herald Tribune, uses twin Muller Martini FlexiRoll and Newsliner systems, with FlexiRoll buffers to cope with a varying workflow.

Newsprinters managing director Tom Johnson said: "The Muller buffer system supports the concept of running two single-width presses. Its a lot more versatile and allows for other contracts."

He felt the quality produced by the Unisets would enable the firm to gain coldset magazine contracts.
