Torch publishing offers a number of different print services.
For newspapers and magazines there is basic coldset web printing and for higher quality requirements we have heatset web printing.
Web-offset presses provide consistent, high-quality printing for medium to long runs.
Web offset is the ideal process for printing publications requiring the quick turnaround afforded by digital computer-to-plate technology at an affordable price.Web printing refers to the printing on a continuous roll of paper (or some other substrate) rather than printing on individual sheets as a sheetfed press does.
The web press is similar to the sheetfed press in that it contains an infeed section, printing units and delivery section. However, because the web prints rolls the various sections are different from those used on a sheetfed press.
Web presses are also capable of running at very high speeds - in some cases as high as 70,000 copies an hour
The press consists of 5 G100 4 colour towers & two mono units stacked, which gives the pressline the capabilities of printing 40 pages of back to back colour in a 56 page paper (tabloid) or 28pages broad sheet. Two of these 4-high towers can be used for printing heatset publications up to 16 pages tabloid or 32 pages of 1/4 fold in one press run.
