xpedx Printing Technologies used Graph Expo to introduce its larger format 920 Series (the four-color Ryobi 924 and five-color 925) into the U.S. market. The 24x36˝ platform enables eight-up printing of both A4 and letter-sized work at speeds to 16,200 sph on stocks up to 24-pt. Standard and optional features include semiautomatic plate changing; automated blanket and ink roller washup; programmed inking and ink density control; and CIP4-JDF connectivity. The press series is said to be ideal for printers that produce book work, pocket folders, posters and other specialty jobs—without the higher costs of a 40˝ press.
