Two new Mitsubishi DiamondSpirit presses for Japanese newspaper Oita Godo Shimbun will each print 40-page editions at 80,000 cph.
The publisher, headquartered in Oita in Kyushu, has a daily circulation of 440,000 and market share of nearly 60 per cent of all newspapers sold within the prefecture.
The new 4x1 presses will print up to 40 pages with 24 in full colour. They will have shaftless drives and MHI’s latest systems for reducing energy consumption, paper waste and noise. They will be installed next year.
