Lithographic Printing: 'Heavy Iron' Comes Up Light
Other attention-getters at drupa were the new 57˝ Rapida 145 equipped with a new coater concept, and KBA's 41˝ Rapida 106, which can now print at speeds up to 20,000 sheets/hr. And, for flexible packaging, the new Varius 80 variable-format web offset press is still in alpha stage.
On the second day of the show, Meredith-Webb Printing, of Burlington, NC, ordered a 64˝, seven-color KBA Rapida 162a press with coater and UV capabilities. Its second KBA, the large-format Rapida 162a will be delivered early next year.
