From a product standpoint, KBA debuted its new Genius 52 sheetfed offset press. The 20? keyless, waterless press is designed for quick printers, in-plants and commercial printers. The maximum sheet size is 20.5x13?, available with four or five printing units.

The company also announced the availability of two new super-large-format presses. The Rapida 185 (51x723/4? sheet) and 205 (59.5x803/4? sheet) are available for the commercial, book and packaging markets. Both presses feature a new design that incorporates a monolithic substructure box with mounted inking unit towers to provide a single, torsionally rigid block.
