Swing Gripper Sheet Fed Offset Printing Machine

In sheet-fed offset printing, individual pages of paper are fed into the machine. The pages can be pre-cut to the final publication size or trimmed after printing. In web offset printing, larger, higher-speed machines are used.Sheet-fed printing sees individual pieces of paper, hence the name, being fed into the machine. While these single papers used to be fed manually, advanced equipment now allows a roll to be used. However, the paper is still cut into individual pieces before being used in a process known as sheeting.Sheet-fed presses print on individual sheets of paper rather than the continuous rolls of paper used by web presses. Sheet-fed presses come in different sizes. Small sheet-fed presses print on paper as small as 4 inches by 5 inches and the largest print on sheets up to 26 inches by 40 inches.
