Two Chinese newspapers have ordered QI Press Controls systems in less than a week.
Both GanSu Daily and LiaoCheng Daily have opted for mRC-3D with the maker's automatic ink mist shield for their Goss presses.
And QI's China managing director Paul Yu says both organisations say they are giving serious consideration to follow-up investments once these are up to speed.
GanSu Daily was already using mRC+ on an existing Goss press, and has placed an order with the press maker for the new variant for its new three-tower Magnum 45. Satisfied with the earlier system, it was "a logical next step" to install mRC-3D on the new press, not only to safeguard quality, but also to cut down on materials.
LiaoCheng Daily has plumped for the same system for its Goss Magnum 45 following a visit to another satisfied customer in China. They found print quality was a lot more stable and savings had been made on materials, which clinched it for the four-tower order.
Now Gansu Daily is considering cut-off controls and LiaoCheng Daily is considering register systems for its other presses.
QI managing director Menno Jansen says the two orders are an illustration of the way the Chinese market is heading: "It reminds me of two orders that were placed by Chinese companies within a week in 2014," he says. "The regularity of these orders is a good sign for our activities in China, and we take considerable pride that the Chinese market is showing increasing confidence in our products and services."
