Windows-based control console with press preset and remote adjustment of virtually all press functions; ACR video register; and Densitronic Basic/S and ink temperature control for optimum print quality. Optional is the Qualitronic II sheet inspection system.

Waterless Makes Splash

Also attracting attention was the new Rapida 74G waterless offset sheetfed press with coater that generates minimal startup waste—10 sheets or less—and reduces operator skill requirements due to KBA's Gravuflow keyless inking technology. The patented ink duct (blade chamber) with doctoring blade and sealing blade allows a continuous, image-independent, keyless pumping system. Cartridges minimize ink waste and the drop-down chamber allows for easy cleaning with an automatic washup system.
