DRUPA 04 REPORT Sheetfed & Web Offset Printing -- No Rain on P

For web printers, KBA demonstrated its 16-page Compacta 217 (rated at 70,000 cph) with a new P3 pin folder—all integrated into a JDF workflow. The press illustrated automatic and semi-automatic plate changing, as well as flying imprint changes at maximum production speeds.

JDF/CIP4 data transfer also played a major role in demonstrations at the Komori booth, where the company's DoNet digital network featured JDF integration for eight presses, including the latest 60,000 iph System 38S web press incorporating the new DC38 folder with double chopper.
