GHP Places Order for Perfecting Press

WEST HAVEN CT—GHP has ordered a new Akiyama Jprint perfecting press from Goss International, which represents and supports Akiyama products in North America. The 10-color press will be installed at GHP’s facility here later this fall.

GHP, which celebrated its 75th anniversary this year, provides offset and digital printing, as well as engraving, for a wide variety of clients. Its offerings also include prepress, finishing, mailing and Web-to-print capabilities.

“After investigating other perfecting presses available and visiting two printers in the United States to see Jprint presses in action, we were convinced this was the best option for premium print quality, efficiency and overall value,” said John Robinson, CEO of GHP. “The support capabilities of the large Goss International team were also a factor in our decision.”

Akiyama Jprint presses utilize a linear sheet transport that allows printing on both sides in a single pass without reversing or restacking. This design minimizes sheet handling, waste and registration challenges associated with perfecting, and also reduces the size of the press.
