Offset Printing--Pressing Ahead

To demonstrate large-format perfecting, KBA demonstrated a four-color, 471⁄2x633⁄4˝ Rapida 162a sheetfed press with automatically convertible perfecting for two-over-two work. An automation package incorporates remote register and format adjustment from the console, automatic plate changing and a nonstop system for the feeder and delivery. The press was embedded in a digital workflow via a CIP3 interface to a large-format Barco CTP system.
