Oct 18, 2007 4:37 PM

The MAN Roland (Westmont, IL) Rotoman web press will continue as the heart of PIA/GATF’s research, training and production center in Sewickley, PA. MAN Roland has extended its agreement with the association.

“The continued growth the graphic arts industry relies on two key factors,” says Vincent Lapinski, CEO of MAN Roland Inc. “They are advanced technology and an educated workforce that knows how to apply that innovation in the media marketplace. The Rotoman MAN Roland provides to PIA/GATF advances both causes and serves as a symbol of our industry’s spirit to succeed.”

The Rotoman at PIA/GATF is a four-unit, 38-inch web width press, integrated with a MAN Roland 1:2:3 combination folder. The press system is complemented by a set of auxiliary components from leading manufacturers of the printing industry. Since its installation in 2002, the press system has provided training, research and the production of the association’s printed communications.

According to PIA/GATF: “Research projects using the ROTOMAN have been conducted that benefit the industry as a whole and for specific clients’ product development and problem solving. Projects have investigated ink mileage savings, paper runnability, print quality and fountain solution composition, just to note a few.”
