Contract printer F.D. Hoekstra Boom in Emmeloord, the Netherlands, in April went on-edition with its Goss International Corp. FPS press, becoming the second company to go into production with the model.

Hans Emmink, technical director at the printer, told Newspapers & Technology the press went into production without any major difficulties.

“We knew that Goss could deliver what we asked for,” he said. “We can’t take a funny concept and print worthless quality for years. Our customers will forgive some lack of quality, but after two weeks they expect to get the best output possible. And we achieved that.”
