Foster Printing Inks Contract for World’s Largest KBA Rapida 205 Press

When the new press arrives in the fall, it will take its place beside both KBA 64˝ large-format presses that now sit side-by-side in the state-of-the-art facility. The new Rapida 205 81˝ will join the current two Rapida 64˝ presses with it’s own color management console as well as the KBA Densitronic Professional closed-loop color control system that provides the best quality and repeatability available, says Blackburn. All of the presses will communicate to the KBA Logotronic management system to provide up-to-the-minute data on jobs, workflow, throughput, and quality.

Having moved to a new, larger facility last year, the firm has the space to facilitate the new press addition as well as peripheral equipment. This includes a new automated platesetter for the computer-to-plate department giving Foster the ability to produce both 64˝ and 81˝ plates and a new automated cutting system.
