“Large Format meets LED-UV” is the banner under which Koenig & Bauer is inviting interested commercial printers to presentations of an eight-colour Rapida 145 perfector press from 4th to 7th September. Introductory lectures and extensive practical demonstrations will provide insights into technologies to make 4-over-4 production even more efficient.
The fully automated press runs perfecting production with sheets up to format 106 x 145 cm and at speeds up to 15,000 sheets per hour. Highlights of the demonstrations include the autonomous printing of flyers, brochures and other typical web-to-print products – also in AutoRun mode. As a world premiere in large format, the eight-colour perfector press features LED-UV drying technology. A reel sheeter, furthermore, enables the alternating use of reel and sheet stocks. Tailored solutions for networked production in large-format commercial printing, such as the Rapida LiveApps, the Optimus Dash MIS, LogoTronic Professional and Connected Services, round off the agenda.
Print professionals interested in attending the presentations can obtain an invitation and all further information through the local sheetfed offset sales partners of Koenig & Bauer.
