Returning to the Windy City of Chicago for its annual premier trade fair, KBA North America (Booth 213) is inviting attendees to its booth to find print solutions among its latest press technologies for its core commercial, folding carton, and packaging markets. It will offer a new interactive product demonstration promoting the benefits and financial gains of KBA’s technology for its sheetfed offset press customers. “Our message to the print industry is one of optimism and progress,” says Mark Hischar, President and CEO of KBA North America. “As we meet customers across the country, we see a new-found and unprecedented sense of expansion and confidence. Within our own company, we’ve experienced a significant increase in revenue and profit, exceeding our targets, and recording robust order intake. We’re very proud of the solutions we offer, our knowledgeable team of sales managers and service technicians, and our broad portfolio of applications. We invite PRINT 17 attendees to learn more about our latest technology, and sit in our comfortable booth for some homemade brats and German beer.”
For an update on KBA’s entry into digital sheetfed printing for the folding carton market and to discuss its progression, Maik Laubin, KBA Sales Director of Digital Solutions, will be on hand at the KBA booth to talk about the KBA VariJET 106 hybrid sheetfed inkjet press with its partner Xerox Corporation (Booth 1302). This industrial digital sheetfed press for the folding carton market integrates Xerox inkjet technology into the KBA Rapida 106 press platform. The modular KBA VariJET will permit the combination of conventional printing and finishing technologies with digital inkjet printing in a hybrid press. It can be configured with up to seven inkjet colors, and it offers print speeds of up to 4,500 sph in 29.5x41.7". Its modular concept enables the combination of digital inkjet printing with optional in-line capabilities such as printing units, coating, cold foil application, rotary die-cutting, creasing, and perforating.
