(September 8, 2011) – ­In an expansion that defies the current economic woes of the printing industry, Trend Offset Printing has installed a new Goss M-600 press at their Carrollton, Texas location.

The new heatset press will expand the pressroom capabilities Trend is able to offer its customers.  The 8-unit press includes a combination folder capable of producing digest, delta, quarter, tabloid and broadsheet folds.  An aqueous coater, double former folder and in-line trimmers round out the features for the versatile press.

“The addition of this press provides Trend with enhanced quality, rapid turnaround and the capacity we need to serve our valued customers,” said Tom Balutis, President, Trend Offset Printing. “It gives us scheduling flexibility that we did not already have and the ability to produce a wide range of products.”

The installation is now underway with a target launch date of mid-September.
