Hong Kong’s Sing Tao News Corporation – publisher of ‘Headline Daily’ – will get aspeedy increase in colour capacity with a new four-high tower to be shipped this month. An existing Goss Uniliner press, which has 578 mm cut-off, will be upgraded to 16-units and will run at up to 80,000 copies per hour. Launched in July 2005, ‘Headline Daily’ is now Hong Kong’s number one free newspaper with the largest circulation in the region. In 2007 Sing Tao ordered two new Uniliner presses with a combined total of 32 units from Goss International. With continuing circulation growth, the new tower will allow Sing Tao to match production capacity to demand and also increase pagination of the newspaper. Peter Kirwan, vice president of Asia Pacific newspaper sales at Goss International, says the nature of the Uniliner press design allows the press line to be extended with minimal inconvenience and downtime. “It provides some reassurance for businesses like Sing Tao that they can be flexible for the future and adapt to changing market conditions,” he says.
