Show goers will find lots of activity at the manroland booth this year, the latest 2010 innovations and technology releases by manroland will be featured items. What every printer needs to know about safeguarding their biggest investment and how to position their business to be flexible against market changes, becomes – problem solved – with futureproof, only by manroland, is on the agenda.

When current Equipment does not match the changing market needs, then business development can be challenging to your Sales Team, manroland has a solution to not only safeguard your investment, but also grow with the changing market. When making the decision to invest in new equipment printers always face the ultimate question, “Will this investment continue to grow my business for years to come? Am I making the right decision?”. Today’s changing market place has made this question even more important.

The idea is simple and makes good sense; A printer now has the option to prepare for selected upgrades and delay added investments like these until they become necessary due to customer demands. These include creative enhancements and innovative technology such as overprinting on cold foil (InlineFoiler Prindor), faster makeready processes (numberous QuickChange modules), integrated color measurement and control technology (InLineColorPilot), adding coating options (InLineCoater Smart), and sheet inspection (InLineInspector), and ejection of startup waste (InLine Sorter), printnet options (PressManager perfect 2.0, Integration Pilot and Integration Pilot Plus, PressManager smart Online), and more.

As an example over 25 upgrade options can be added to a ROLAND 700 HiPrint press and over 22 upgrade options can be added to a ROLAND 700 DirectDrive. When you find your business and markets changes are limiting your ability to bring in new work, printers have the ability to fill up that open capacity or meet customer demands by simply adding the upgrade feature to their existing press.

The complete line of manroland sheetfed presses, ROLAND 200, ROLAND 500, ROLAND 700, and ROLAND 900 have futureproof options available.

Today, ‘futureproofing’ your business is a must, but you’ll need manroland vision and flexibility to do it. As your volumes change, add automation. As your customers change, change your processes. As your focus changes, change your press specifications.

And, manroland has a new 5-year “futureproof” upgrade program ensuring printers that the selected options will be upgradeable for up to five years after the date of purchase.
