ON THE ROAD -- German Tour Opens Printers' Eyes Wide

At the time of the open house, the company reported it had sold seven 81? Rapida 205 sheetfed presses to printers in the United States. Jens Junker, vice president of sales at KBA Radebeul, points out that the manufacturer has a policy of running a new press model in Germany for 12 to 18 months before shipping any machines to the U.S. in order to have time to work the inevitable bugs out of a new design.
