Beyond the Printed Word
The IFRA/WAN/FIPP World Electronic Publishing Conference
Beyond the Printed Word is now in
its 10th year. After all developments
and both fulfilled and unfulfilled
expectations that we have experienced during the past years, one
thing can be said with certainty:
the online business has become
a mass medium and plays an
important role in the media mix of
the publisher as well as of the
consumer.
Organisers:
Ifra
The world’s leading association
for media publishing
World Association
of Newspapers (WAN)
International Federation
of the Periodical Press (FIPP)
Though the online business is
established, there still remain a
lot of questions concerning
refinancing and prospering.
Does the user accept he has to pay
at least for premium content?
Where is the advertising market
heading?
How is the wireless market
developing?
These are just some of the topics
that will be covered during the two
days.

The focus of this year's presentation,
besides integration of in-house publishing
processes, will be on the networking or integration respectively of the publishing
house business processes with those of its
customers and partners (therefore stronger
ties between publishing house and customer). Shown this year will be alfa-NewsSuite, described by alfa as its greatly expanded, highly integrated solution for the
editorial area, and alfa-AdSuite for the advertising area. According to alfa, the latter
has been enhanced by the further developed alfa-AdCounter inline ad-taking solution. The company says this reduces the
advertising department's workload, minimises time spent on ad recording and design, in addition to providing the opportunity to increase customer loyalty, advertising revenues and profits by new service offers. With alfa-MediaStore, customised
archive workflows and asset management
will be shown. Besides tailored IT and integration service offers, visitors also will

is an international manufacturer of press accessory and
control equipment for the newspaper printing industry. Baldwin
will feature Newspaper Grade products, systems and services
that the company says deliver a new standard of process and financial performance. Newspapers around the world use Baldwin
products to produce eye-catching colour, reduce unscheduled
pressroom downtime and maintenance, reduce paper waste, improve manpower efficiency and minimise the use of solvents
and VOCs in the printing process. Products featured for single
and double wide presses include: – IMPACT automated blanket
cleaning systems, which the company says reduce make-ready
times, eliminate solvent handling and minimises VOCs. IMPACT
uses PREPAC, Baldwin's cleaning cartridge, which the company
says is an environmentally friendly cleaning agent. – LithoSpray is described by Baldwin as a precise spray dampening system featuring a patented nozzle and advanced control system,
which applies the minimum amount of water necessary to uniformly dampen the printing plate. A short reaction time means
the required dampening level is reached quickly, a dryer web is
achieved, and start-up waste is reduced.
W. Barenschee KG

will show its automatic VSAK 300 video punch and edgebending machine, which is designed for connection to digital
platemaking systems. Plate positioning is done via two CCD
26
September 2002
cameras working with register marks. A triaxial vacuum positioning table allows optimal plate positioning before punching. Up
to 400 plates per hour can be processed
with a high level of precision. After edgebending, a plate lift takes the plates into
the sorting system, here with four stacking
stations. The company says the unit's low
height permits comfortable plate removal
from the stacker pockets. Sorting information is supplied by a bar code on the plate
edge. Sorting criteria can be, for example,
edition or machine number. The machine
can be connected to the prepress workflow.
In addition, the processing results of each
individual plate or machine status information can be made available to other users.
According to the company, the Barenschee
Plate Loader PZG ensures the automatic
plate supply of KPG Newsetter CTP systems. The intermediate paper is removed by
a mechanical gripper system.The throughput of 360 plates per hour permits the supply of two Newsetter TH180 systems.

Innovation in newspaper inks includes matching existing ink systems to
changing requirements and developing ink
systems for new printing presses and papers. The trend towards newspapers with a
higher colour content, thinner paper grades
and the increase in press speed in the latest
press generation make more exacting demands on technical ink properties: reduced
show-through, improved ink-water balance, lower tendency towards misting, improved set-off behaviour. The growing use
of dusty newsprint results in the piling of
paper dust on the rubber blankets, especially with the more compact black inks – the
printing quality suffers, washing intervals
become shorter. For this reason, in the development of its new ink generation BASF
Drucksysteme attached priority to longer
washing intervals. The BASF ink offer consists of matched ink and fountain agent solutions from the Newsking newspaper ink
series and Hydrofast fountain agent as well
as the Printclean cleaning agent contribute
to greater efficiency at printing operations.
Because new press concepts often call for
the development of new inks, BASF cooperates closely with press manufacturers. As
IfraExpo 2002
a leading partner to the printing industry,
BASF Drucksysteme offers a comprehensive programme of inks for a wide range of
different applications as well as photopolymer plates.

This independence of individual productions increases the availability enormously.
Machines that are fitted with an MLC can
be extended quickly and economically, it is
an advantage to use the MLC already for
smaller machines. At the moment, the
largest possible extension can consist of
seven machine sections with 32 drive rings,
each with up to 48 drives. This results in a
plant with more than 10,000 drives running synchronously. The remote service
and diagnostic system Baudis makes it possible to monitor the drives and commission
the machine quickly. In the programme, the
drives are selected by mouse click. The data
records can be downloaded and tested easily via drag & drop, which simplifies and
shortens the commissioning of the drive
system.

is a leading manufacturer of CTcP
systems for the digital exposure of conventional offset plates – from data reception
up to the press-ready conventional plate.
The company says it offers state-of-the-art
CTP technology in connection with lowcost, conventional plate technology. According to the manufacturer, this system
allows up to 50 percent cost savings compared to laser-based CTP technologies. The
UV-Setter 57-Z is designed especially for
the newspaper printing sector. This automatic system exposes single pages and
double-truck plates up to the maximum
size of 690 x 940 mm. A plate dispenser
can accommodate up to 500 plates, the intermediate paper is removed automatically.
The company says the UV-Setter 57-Z can
be simply integrated into existing work environments; the data is taken over as 1-Bit
TIFF (G 4). An optimised interface allows
the user to check the exposure unit and
processing status. Besides automatic operation, the user has the option also to process
plates manually. Depending on the chosen
resolution and the area to be exposed, the
UV-Setter 57-Z achieves a throughput of
up to 120 plates per hour.

This controls and drives manufacturer has a track record of equipping shaftless
newspaper presses worldwide. In the light
of 10 years' experience, the functions of
the Synax200 system solution have been
expanded and its handling improved. The
company says the result is considerably reduced investment of labour and financial
resources for total press automation.
Synax200 features a modular design as
well as components for motion control and
digital servo drive engineering. As an option, Synax200 can have an integrated soft
SPS (programmable controller) as well as
comfortable operating and visualising devices added. Open communication interfaces take charge of networking with the
press
management
systems.
With
Synax200, presses or press components are
positioned and programmed individually or
interconnected, or printing couples engaged in-register during the production
run for a flying job change. The decentralised control concept offers maximum
flexibility in multi-web production in installations consisting of several sections.
Standard functions include web tension
and register control.

CCI Europe, in partnership with USA
TODAY and Aftenposten in Norway, and in
conjunction with a focus group comprising
another eight of the world's leading newspapers, says it is developing a true content
management platform and integration architecture – CCI NewsGate, which will be
demonstrated as a prototype at IfraExpo
2002. The company says CCI NewsGate focuses on optimising the creation and management processes for content throughout
the news publishing life cycle and value
chain. According to CCI, the system will
create synergies at both the group and individual newsroom level, as the entire publishing process, from story creation to final
distribution through multiple channels, is
brought together on a single integrated
platform, thereby enabling media companies to be more agile and more responsive
to the ever-changing market. CCI also presents CCI NewsDesk Release 6, which the
company describes as a complete editorial
solution, designed to streamline the editorial process from story creation to final
publication both online and in print. CCI
says the solution is flexible and customisable allowing the system to be tailored to
the individual needs of the newspaper. The
company says CCI AdDesk is one of the
only advertising solutions on the market
that has been “born converged." Visitors
will be able to check out the state-of-theart system, which has been installed at Associated Newspapers Ltd.

RITMICA SH/70E is an electronic film
wrapping machine specifically designed for
feeding newspapers in spine leading position. The company says this machine has
large dimensions and allows easier and
faster feeding of newspapers up to 70 mm
of thickness. The machine can be feed by a
rotary feeder placed in cross position in an
“off line" version or in an “in line" version
by transport grippers. CMC says this allows
a production increase by 30 percent in relation to the common side feeding systems.
But the company says the real new idea is
the patented automatic feeding system designed to allow an easier and faster newspaper loading on the rotary feeders, thus
reducing manpower. CMC claims this will
be a innovative solution for film wrapping

and has no problems loading ink fountains,
even when machines are installed far away
from each other. There are also claimed to
be no seal problems because of integrated
order related ink measurements for every
ink fountain. Other claimed advantages include: correct level control settings from
remote control desk, no ink fountain overflows and minimum maintenance. The
company says the hydraulic pumps for
drums and containers are ideal for centralised ink management and various ink
qualities. EL-KO says Elcolora is more profitable if used for more printing machines,
and that when compared to high pressure
systems, the Elcolora “finances itself"

formed by the merger of Purup-Eskofot
and Barco Graphics. Esko-Graphics will be
demonstrating Perfection Publisher, a repurposing software. The company says Perfection Publisher provides the publishing
industry with the ability to reconstruct
printed books or films and manipulate the
contents in digital format. Esko-Graphics
expect it to be in demand among printers
who need to reconstruct further editions of
a book when only supplied with a printed
version or film originals. There also will be
a demonstration of the latest version of EskoNet (v2.1), the modular Windows 2000
based workflow system for newspapers.
The company says this version will be interesting for printers doing newspapers as
well as commercial print jobs because more
complex impositions can now be automated in EskoNet. Esko-Graphics says this
eliminates the hassle of multiple workflows
for multiple job types. The company also
will be demonstrating its DMX Platesetter,
attached to an on-line Burgess bender and

smear-free transport of newspaper or commercial product. The claimed advantages of
the Gämmerler TF 660 paced conveyor are
the short intervals in the gripper chain as
well as low wear and tear. The TF 660 has
more grippers on one metre conveyor system than comparable systems, which increases the numbers of carried products. In
addition, the chain guide channels are
manufactured from steel, as opposed to the
standard aluminium. As a result, the company says, there is significantly less wear
and tear. Connected to the TF 660 singlegripper conveyor system will be the Gämmerler KL560 Lift Pack News. This compensating stacker is equipped with a practiceoriented delivery route program.The collecting racks descend together with the
product and thus ensure a controlled product drop. The KL560 Lift Pack News is used
mainly in the newspaper area. Carrying out
stabilising and stream separation in different locations reduces the contact pressure
of the top and bottom belts, thus minimising both the risk of smearing and susceptibility to faults.

the newspaper sector, for example, newspapers will have to focus on specialised

system is based on the Intelligent Register
System technology and can measure the
September 2002
IfraExpo 2002
width of the web, thereby enabling the system to control fanout, turner bars or splicers. The company says the patented
“fish-eye" technology eliminates the need to laterally pre-set
the scanner. All data processing is done within the camera
housing and intelligent software compensates for distortion and
paper dust. Also on display will be the IRS, which combines automatic colour register, cut-off and side-lay control into one
system. One, virtually invisible (0,04 mm2), set of register marks
is enough for the IRS to monitor and control register completely. The IRS can be expanded with the new Intelligent Quality
Management System (IQM). According to the company, all production data, including colour register information, can be
monitored by the production manager at his own desk. The production data is stored in a database, and there is the possibility
to set alarm levels that can be forwarded automatically to the
production manager via SMS on his mobile phone. The company says claims for compensation in case of miss register can
easily be investigated. Web-tension, drive problems, paper characteristics, ink/dampening problems, all information can be
analysed. Like all QIPC systems, this will be tailor-made to customer specifications.

According to QTI, this platform offers increased flexibility and
efficiency by allowing multiple QTI products to be controlled
from one operator control station. The company says this results in reduced training time and quicker job setups. For closed
loop colour control, QTI says its Color Control System (CCS)
controls by midtone dot gain and three-colour grey balance in
addition to solid ink density.

a good rub-resistance, press behaviour and recycling properties
for the paper industry. According to the company, recently developed NewsTECH inks give the printer the possibility to reduce the water amount on the press. Sicpa-Sinclair adds that
this results in very fast-setting, excellent set-off properties and
even with a high ink-loading are perfectly suitable for the
newest insert systems such as Müller Martini and Ferag. Due to
the reduced water-amount on the press, these inks have extremely bright colours for brilliant printed matters. The new
NewsTECH inks are suitable for all types of high-speed machines and specially developed for the great demand in colour
inks in the newspaper industry at the moment.

on the web that consists of solvent and
water. The blankets are cleaned by friction
between the blankets and the impregnated
web. The cleaning programs are automatically triggered during the print run, or
manually at the end of run, at start up, or
at any moment. On newspaper presses and
form presses, the techniweb cleans the web
paths, the guide and the inking rollers and
makes start-up easier and flying splice
more efficient through web lubrification.
On commercial presses, flying splices are
also more efficient due to the techniweb,
with all dryer safety guarantees. The company says the installation of spraybars is
outside the printing units, with access to
blankets, plates and webs, and providing
easy fitting / removal. According to the
company, low maintenance is required.
Only two spraybars per web makes the
techniweb a low cost project with fast return on investment due to time saving, improved quality, and fewer web breaks and
wraparounds.

be
shown.
ecoclean.line was designed for recycling
contaminated washing agent internally in
the printing company. The company says
the recycling unit is able to recycle 95 percent of 100 percent contaminated liquid
(mixture of washing agent and water). As a
rule, according to the company, the amortization period is less than a year. The opera-
tion and advantages of the spray dampening system microspray.line are demonstrated by means of an original spray dampening system. The combination of microspray.line with a well-suited dampening
solution circulator, the gamma.sd or
delta.sd-line, optimises the complete system, which was developed together with
the operators to help guarantee problemfree productions. The rycospray spray
dampening unit has been integrated into
the product range and has extended the
product offering considerably, technotrans
says. As far as ink supply is concerned,
well-established versions of customer-specific ink supply systems and bulk systems
for all kinds of offset printing companies
are presented. A container pump will be
exhibited at the stand to demonstrate the
advantages of this development with regard to technique and design.

will show: – ICMD: an On-line densitometer that the company says goes beyond handheld and scanning solutions to
address the following difficulties: – A web
to web printing process does not allow the
taking of measurements with external devices without stopping the press, cutting
out a piece of paper and restarting the
press. This is an inefficient way of quality
control and the only practical solution is
an On-line Densitometer or Spectrophotometer. Key items of the ICMD include:
high-speed sensors conforming to DIN
16536-2, Ansi Status I, Reflection with polarisation filter, 45°/0° geometry, CMYK.
Viptronic says ICMD enables the customer
to check the actual press situation and to
document the job. It contains the following
functions: – A job database containing a
simple customer database, job parameters,
and job measurement data. The job database interface manages the definition of
reference values and tolerances, the restart
of measurements storage after the set-up
time, and reports and printouts of measurement data. – Visualisation of the actual
