Digital Output Devices: A Digital Printing Redux
KBA talked about, but did not show, its new RotaJet 76 inkjet press unveiled at drupa and scheduled to ship early next year. The press accommodates a 30.7˝ web width, print speeds of up to 500 fpm and the use of aqueous pigment inks. Both inkjet-optimized coated and uncoated stocks are supported, although the company claims good results with traditional stocks.
