With the future of manroland still uncertain, the PrintCity alliance has placed its press maker member front and centre in a new promotional publication focussed on the run-up to DRUPA.

In a ‘Webline’ magazine feature headed ‘Tune up your web press’, PrintCity sets the scene for shared activities at the Düsseldorf trade fair in May.

Web-offset topics include upgrades and retrofits, print quality audits and training, and remote web monitoring. The publication also updates on ultra-wide web offset installations, and presents case studies from its VAPoN (Value Added Printing of Newspapers) initiative.

Besides manroland, PrintCity participating members also include Megtec, Océ, Procemex, Sun Chemical and UPM.

Copies of the Webline publication can be downloaded at http://www.printcity.de/index.php?site_id=76, or contact a participating member or email webline@printcity.de for a printed copy.

The alliance is joint presenter with WPCF of a one-day environmental conference on May 10, in the DRUPA Congress Centre. Details at http://amiando.com/LEAN_GREEN
