With two new contracts to print evening newspapers Aftonbladet and Expressen in Ornskoldsvik, Sweden, Mittmedia Print is upgrading for quality and security.
A Goss pressline installed in 1999 and 2004 is being brought-up-to-date by DCOS with a new control system installed and a first tower refurbished, freeing parts for other towers.
Whiled installing two new integrated control desks, DCOS is also replacing and integrating the colour control system, which is independent at present.
At Markbladet Tryckeri in Skene, a similar project will upgrade a Manugraph press. The original colour control system is being integrated with DCOS controls and prepress data for presets. Existing control cards are being replaced when they expire, and a new learning function will enable the system to learn the colour transfer capability of the print unit on a continuous basis, and adjust the pre-set values.
