MAN Roland Re-enters World of Extra-large-Format Printing

The new MAN machine was demonstrated running at a speed of up to 12,000 sph, with automatic plate loading that shortened makeready times. Up to 5,000 individual jobs can be stored for reprinting. Special, large-capacity, dual-flow ink units were added. Machines from four units plus coater upwards have a longitudinal shaft. The XXL machines are designed to capture a good share of the market dominated these days by half-size and medium-format sheetfed offset presses.
