Bolger Vision Beyond Print Installs Next-Generation Long Perfector

“We’re experienced with sheetfed perfectors,” says Bolger. “We have two existing perfectors from different press manufacturers: a 2/4 used for matte paper and a 1/1 generally used for uncoated paper. With those two presses, we’d have marking if we didn’t allow for gutters. The Rapida 105’s special smooth cylinders after the perfectors as well as its UV drying on both sides of the sheet eliminate these issues. There’s no marking with the Rapida 105 and there is no difference in the dot structure from one side to the other. The UV curing gives us better trapping and no dot gain. Our printed sheets are dry in the delivery of the press and ready for the bindery.”
