King

King presses were made in Joplin MO from the end of World War II till just last year. They had many similarities with Didde Web Presses, which I also sell a lot of. The first designer of the King Press was Orville Dutro, and his concept was to make a simple modular full size web for the production of newspaper, books, commercial work, and newsletters. I am sure that King's have been put to many more uses as well. If you have any stories please send them in to me. We sell a lot of used King machines. There have been a number of models, with the name, Color King, News King, Daily King, & Process King, but they all have a lot of similarities. The Color King has a big inker, so it has been used by many people to do all sorts of commercial work. The News King and Daily King were sold as either monos or stacks, but mostly used to print newspapers, newsletters, and books. There were only a few Process Kings built, and if you find one, you have found a very good press. We sell, list, and buy King machines, so if you have any extra let me know and we can help you get rid of it.
