The T48A brings productivity and waste reduction to book printing, whether you are looking for long run reliability or short-run flexibility. The press is a modular system, buyers can choose from a wide range of web widths, print cylinder circumferences and folder types. This allows the creation of a tailor-made press ideally suited to the required printed book format, minimising waste and providing the vital competitive edge that modern book printing demands.

Timsons’ book presses are engineered to the highest possible standards through robust hand-built construction with thick, cast iron frames and stainless steel print cylinders. This ensures consistent print accuracy and long-term durability. The majority of Timson presses made in the last 40 years are still in daily use around the world today.

A vertical web path and Timsons’ simultaneous plate changing system (SPCS) are designed for profitable production of shorter runs. SPCS enables plate changing in under three minutes with minimum effort.

Standard print cylinder circumferences range from 34.5” (876.3mm) to 57” (1,447.8mm)

Standard web widths range from 40” (1,016mm) to 60” (1,524 mm)

The T48A is designed with rollaway inkers to give the printer complete access to the inking and dampening systems. Semi-automatic web threading keeps downtime to a minimum.

Flexibility in Folding - there are many options in this area to choose from, including long grain fold with three sides open, single and double parallel cross fold and single cross grain fold plus chopper fold.

State of the art independent drives, along with the latest PLC controls and an operator friendly H.M.I. contribute to efficient press operation
