The advantages for your printing process:
Makeready times: Fast and simple format and printing stock changeovers and rapid inking-up help to reduce
makeready times. Productivity: The register-accurate optional perfecting device enables you to achieve
cost-effective production in perfecting mode. Quality: The Printmaster GTO 52 is the ideal entry-level and
upgrade option for high-quality multicolor offset printing. Cost-effectiveness: The wide range of add-on op-
tions and inline nishing (e. g. coating and drying) boost the application potential of your press. The broad scope
for processing several different formats and materials make your Printmaster GTO 52 a true all-round press.
Ergonomics: User-friendly operation makes light work of controlling and monitoring production processes.
Sheet travel and perfecting device precision right
along the line. Smooth and precise sheet travel
through the entire press is crucial for high print
quality. The precision helical gears and bearer-to-
bearer pressure between the plate and blanket cyl-
inders also contribute to outstanding print quality.
The register-accurate perfecting device opens up a
whole range of possibilities and boosts your cost-
efciency by printing on both sides in a single pass.
You can drive down costs and increase your prot.
The delivery safely stacks your products on the pile.
The delivery of the Printmaster GTO 52 has every-
thing that is needed to deliver sheets smoothly and
precisely. Sheet brakes, delivery fans, sheet joggers
and lateral sheet stops ensure each sheet is deliv-
ered with precision. The line powder spray device
prevents fresh ink from being deposited on print
sheets. You can also adjust the powder length and
width for each job.
Remote ink control central operation couldnt be
easier. The optional Prinect Classic Center com-
bines precision with ease of use. You can perform
all ink and register settings via the membrane key-
pad on the user-friendly central console. You can
also store your settings for repeat jobs. You benet
from ease of use, improved print quality and shorter
makeready times.
Special applications for special customer require-
ments. The add-on devices for numbering, imprint-
ing, coating and drying allow you to nish your print
goods in a single pass. The basic numbering and
imprinting equipment needed to achieve this is in-
cluded as standard, enabling you to handle orders
such as admission tickets, order cards, lottery/rafe
tickets and invoice forms quickly and exibly.
The mobile coating unit for inline application of
dispersion, UV and blister coatings boosts the versa-
tility of your press even further.
The space-saving, integrated delivery is designed for maximum
exibility and frequent job changes.
