The news comes as leading Swiss commercial printer Hess Druck AG has purchased its fifth Vision web offset press.

Peter Kloppers, director of DG press MachineS, said: ‘These two recent orders is an indication to us that the market has increasing confidence in us to deliver new high-quality web offset presses.
