KBA Retrofits Inkjet Systems to Newspaper Presses

With an inkjet imprinting system, on the other hand, it becomes possible to produce title pages with corresponding regional headlines and content indexes both flexibly and without additional waste. Frequently changing regional sections—in the majority of cases no more than four to six pages in part editions of 1,000- to 10,000-copies—could be printed parallel to the main production on a high-volume inkjet web press such as the KBA RotaJET 76. This mixed variant also holds further potential for other products in short runs or with a high degree of personalization. That is not to say, however, that retrofits to older presses are rendered superfluous by the new options. At the end of the day, it is the individual product and production structure which counts—and a well-founded economic feasibility study to determine the most meaningful investment variant. KBA supports users in this respect with corresponding analyses.
