drupa 2012 : Inkjet and B2 Digital Trend

In the spring of 2011, Koenig & Bauer AG (KBA) and mega-printer RR Donnelley announced an agreement to develop new digital presses based on Donnelley’s Apollo piezoelectric inkjet technology. The KBA RotaJET 76, which is being manufactured at the press manufacturer’s plant in Würzburg, Germany, is the fruit of that partnership. It features a maximum 30.7˝ web width and prints at up to 500 fpm using water-based pigment inks. The press is scheduled for release before the end of 2012.
