According to relevant reports, Japan's Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. is developing a marketing plan for the company’s newly launched newspaper offset press called Diamond Spirit. This new press not only has ultra-high print speeds (up to 80,000 prints/hour), but it also has excellent print quality and reduced operating costs. The printing press adopts a four-page, one-page circumference printing plate roller, which can reduce half of the plate than the previous model, thereby not only making the device excellent performance, but also can bring a significant economy. benefit. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' new customer base is aimed at small and medium newspapers.

The previous generation newspaper press developed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries was DiamondStar, one of the world's best-selling newspaper printing equipment. Its printing speed is also the fastest in the world, reaching as high as 90,000 impressions/hour. DiamondSpirit incorporates the high-speed printing technology used on the DiamondStar. DiamondSpirit is also the fastest printing speed in its class.

Compared with traditional newspaper presses of the same type, DiamondSpirit's greatest feature is a significant reduction in operating costs. This is due to the reduction in the number of printing plates and the shortening of plate replacement time. Of course, all this is based on ensuring the high quality of printing. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries also pays great attention to the saving of paper. Currently, DiamondSpirit's scrap rate is about 2%, which is the lowest in the industry. In addition, due to the use of low-friction roller bearings with a shaftless drive system, the energy consumption of such equipment is reduced by about 15% compared to conventional presses.

DiamondSpirit is capable of high-speed printing. It is also directly linked to the vibration reduction of plate cylinders and blanket cylinders, and the vibration is reduced, which also ensures the clarity of printed images. DiamondSpirit uses Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' original ink roller arrangement and high-precision automatic pre-inking system to achieve higher image quality and more stable ink film density on paper.
