Updates on the Australasian market, a feature about heatset printer AIW and profiles of two Chinese companies are included in a new edition of Goss International's Web Offset magazine, downloadable in electronic form at www.gossinternational.com.

The issue also includes technology articles on the new Goss Ecoset dryer, which uses 50 per cent less energy than previous versions, and the latest developments benefiting users of the 16-page Goss M-600 press, over the last 17 years.

Issue 64 of Web Offset magazine additionally profiles printers and publishers that are utilising Goss technologies to improve their efficiencies and positions in the market place. The 'Houston Chronicle' in the USA has taken a broad-minded approach to this in an effort to reduce its impact on the environment, resulting in a dramatic reduction in ink waste.

Australian commercial web printer AIW Printing selected a Goss press system along with specific auxiliaries and consumables to be as environmentally-friendly as possible.

Profiles of Chinese printers C&C and Nanjing Anbo are also featured, as well as an update on the installation of the world's first Sunday 5000 press at Grafiche Mazzucchelli in Italy and that company's strategy for selecting a wider web.
