Lakeside Book Company has installed Contiweb’s CDN unwinder and Digital Fluid Applicator (DFA) remoistener at its Harrisonburg facility in Virginia, USA.
Contiweb is a manufacturer of web-handling equipment and provider of solutions for web offset printing, web inkjet printing and packaging production. Its newly installed machine will sit alongside a HP T490 PageWide press which was installed in June 2023.
The installation of the CDN unwinder and DFA remoistener aims to further enhance operational efficiency, while ensuring continuous production, and consistently high-quality output.
Scott Merrick, engineering manager of digital press at Lakeside said, ‘After multiple decades of working with Contiweb and its technology, this was an easy decision for Lakeside Book. We are confident that this investment will enable us to optimise the value of our new HP press, delivering numerous benefits to our customers and our operations.’
Contiweb has a history of providing Lakeside with products tailored for heatset web offset applications. Its portfolio of Contiweb splicers, sheeters and dryers has been stated to deliver high performance and print quality.
Mr Merrick continued, ‘We purchased our first CDN splicer from Contiweb back in 2017 for our Kendallville, Indiana facility. That splicer has been exceptionally reliable since the day it was installed as we continued on our journey with Contiweb.’
Robert Bosman, sales director at Contiweb, concluded, ‘The installation of the CDN non-stop unwinder and DFA remoistener, demonstrates Lakeside Book Company’s commitment to delivering high-quality print solutions.
‘We are proud to support the company’s operations with our advanced web offset solutions, and we look forward to further strengthening our partnership in the years to come.’
