PaperWorks Adds a KBA Rapida 142 Large-Format Press

Using a highly-sensitive color camera to measure the control bar on every sheet, the QualiTronic Color Control system compares the density values to reference densities and triggers automatic ink-key adjustments when a discrepancy is obtained. The QualiTronic Color Control system provides corrections to be made within 10 sheets of an error being detected, cuts waste by shortening press run-up to saleable color, and provides consistent inking throughout the entire print run while cutting waste and optimizing print quality.

“We at PaperWorks pride ourselves on bringing innovation and excellence to the marketplace,” says John R. Dowd, senior vice president of sales and marketing for PaperWorks. “The addition of this press will allow us to extend new offerings to our existing customers and prospects along with reduced lead times and improved color integrity. The seven-color capabilities of the KBA Rapida 142 press are ideally suited to ECG systems which are currently being implemented in several of our production facilities.”

After carefully considering three other major press manufacturers, PaperWorks chose to purchase a new KBA large-format press.
