1/4/2005

SHELTON, CT, January 4, 2004 - Baldwin Technology Company, Inc. announced today that the News Limited Group in Australia has placed additional orders for IMPACT® Global automatic blanket cylinder cleaning systems to be fitted on five new MAN GEOMAN presses to be located in Sydney.

The order follows the successful installation of the IMPACT® Global blanket cleaners on four upgraded MAN Roland Newsman double-width presses at their MURARRIE print facility in BRISBANE, Queensland during 2003, and six upgraded MAN Newsman 40 presses at News Limited's Westgate Park print site in MELBOURNE, Victoria late 2002.

The new Baldwin Automatic Blanket Cleaning equipment will be installed on five new MAN GEOMAN presses at the NATIONWIDE NEWS Sydney print production centre and will consist of 200 Impact Global units as well as the conversion of older Baldwin equipment on existing MAN GEOMAN press from dry cloth to IMPACT technology.

Comments Peter Tkachuk, Managing Director of Baldwin Graphic Equipment: "Nationwide News, (formally Mirror & Telegraph Publications) purchased Z400 blanket cleaning systems from us several years ago and based on the tremendous results and productivity they are again placing their confidence in Baldwin to equip these new presses.”

News Limited Group also recently installed Baldwin's IMPACT® Global cleaning and LithoSpray™ spray dampening systems at the Gold Coast Bulletin in Southport, Queensland. That order consisted of IMPACT® Global and LithoSpray™ systems for the KBA nine-tower Comet press installation.
