More News from the Vatican

The election of a new pope isn't the only news coming out of the Vatican. The Holy See’s in-plant production house (known as Tipografia Vaticana) just beefed up its digital printing capabilities by adding a Meteor DP8700 XL digital press from MGI Digital Graphic Technology.

After extensive testing, the Vatican's in-plant chose the MGI Meteor DP8700 XL because of its outstanding print quality on numerous applications, especially printing open-flap envelopes and extended book covers up to 13x40˝ in length. Also important was its ability to utilize standard offset stocks. The in-plant also utilizes an assortment of sheetfed and web offset presses and finishing equipment.
