Taylor Adds Hybrid Digital, Flexo Press At Facility Taylor Corporation, North Mankato, Minnesota, has installed a new hybrid printing press at its Rad- cliff, Kentucky, facility. The company is also adding 30,000 square feet of space to the Radcliff plant. Taylor’s newest hybrid digital + flexo printing press is a 12-color design that combines four flexo- graphic and eight digital print stations. The press reportedly has a rapid “non-stop” dig- ital architecture that eliminates the need for job changeover tasks such as plate and ink changes. The press is 21-inches wide. The new hybrid press is part of a larger $18.8 mil- lion investment in Taylor’s Radcliff facility.
