Abrégé

A flexible pressline which utilizes a non-linear arrangement of the folder to the press units. Specifically, the folder is not in-line with the press units but is arranged at a generally 90 degree angle out-of-line and offset with them. The flexible pressline may be comprised of two or more modular print zones (comprising press units and paper sources) which are combined with at least one folder zone (comprising a folder) and a turn zone (comprising angle bars or similar paper web directing items) to form a pressline module. Multiple pressline modules may be combined to form a pressline which serves to provide the printing capacity of the location.

Abrégé

Systems and methods for allowing existing rotary printing press units to produce smaller pages at a faster rate of speed without having to replace the press unit. Specifically, the systems and methods relate to retrofitting an existing press unit to produce three pages of material in each full rotation instead of the traditional two pages.
