With its circulations more than doubled since 1980 to 450,000 copies daily, expanding printing capacity came high on the agenda for the publisher of 'Xi’an Daily' and 'Xi’an Evening News' in Central China, for whom new double-width Goss Newsliner press begins a pressroom modernisation plan. The 75,000 cph Newsliner consists of two four-high towers, a 2:3:3 jaw folder and two load-bearing reelstands. It will not only improve productivity at the Xi’an Daily printing centre, but also increase colour capacity – providing 16 broadsheet pages in straight run and 32 pages of broadsheet pages in collect mode. Located in the home of the 'Terracotta Army', 'Xi’an Daily' and its sister paper have been the voices of this 3000-year-old city for almost six decades. Since the 1990s, as part of the economic revival of interior China’s central and northwest regions, the city of Xi'an has re-emerged as an important cultural, industrial and educational center of the region. This has contributed to the fast growth of the Xi’an Daily News Company in both circulation and advertising revenue. General manager Zhao Hai Wangsays the Newsliner was more solid and had higher automation than other products considered. "Features, especially the solid stainless steel cylinders and bearers, give us confidence in the reliability of the new equipment," he says.
