KBA Retrofits Inkjet Systems to Newspaper Presses

As already with the predecessor company Scitex in 1995, KBA offers the latest generation of inkjet imprinting heads in cooperation with Kodak. The imprinting system preferred by Kodak for this purpose—Prosper S30—features a maximum print resolution of 600x200 dpi and can imprint variable data at web speeds up to 15 m/s. Optimum positioning of the print heads in the superstructure, the exact clearance between print heads and paper web, and precise setting of the web tension and cut-off register are routine tasks for a press manufacturer with the competence of KBA.
