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

Perhaps the multi-vendor PrintCity exhibit in Hall 6 served as the best example of JDF being employed to complete entire jobs within a "Digital Smart Factory" of the future. As the press supplier for PrintCity, MAN Roland operated a selection of sheetfed presses in seven configurations, each corresponding to a different printing segment. A six-unit Rotoman 16-page heatset web press featured zero makeready imprinting, fully automatic plate loading, the QuickStart system, PECOM and ppi printnet network and control.
