Iceland printing house upgrades Commander press

One of the largest newspaper printing houses in Iceland, Landsprent, has decided to bring its Commander press from Koenig & Bauer into line with the state of the art.

The process began with successive overhauls of the reelstands. That stage of the project was completed successfully earlier this year, and attention has now turned to an electrical retrofit for the folders. Technical measures to modernize the printing towers are set to follow in the coming years.

Landsprent, with offices in Reykjavik, can be counted among the country’s largest printing houses and is responsible for production of the Morgunblaðið, the most popular subscription newspaper on the island, with a circulation of 30,000. The overall product portfolio includes another 14 daily and weekly newspapers and magazines, and the company also prints various advertising supplements.
