Guatemala’s Prensa Libre expands printing press


Prensa Libre, a daily newspaper in Guatemala, is expanding its existing UNISET system with an additional heatset line, according to a press release. This is intended to improve efficiency and flexibility for the daily printing of supplements and schoolbooks and, in the near future, Bible pages, according to the release.
With the new heatset equipment, more products can be produced in daily operations, so Prensa Libre has now equipped the existing UNISET with a second heatset line from a second-hand press in Brazil. The register control installed reduces paper waste.
“This type of retrofit safeguards the company’s future and creates the required level of flexibility to respond to changing market requirements. We are pleased to be able to support Prensa Libre, helping it to stay the leading newspaper in Guatemala also in the future,” said Tino Schmidt, manroland Goss web systems’ service manager.
Production on the new installations was to start in September.
