Special Drupa Coverage — Manufacturers Press Ahead

Video presentations were shown on the company's range of shaftless web presses, the "MAX-Saver" package of programs that reduce makeready times and the MAX Diamond-Eye quality control device.

Known for its smaller-format models, Ryobi used the show to enter the full-size, 40? press market by showing its new five-color, 16,000 sph 1050-5 model. The new 1050 series combines an attractive price point with features such as double-diameter impression cylinders; moveable, shell-type skeleton transfer drums; optional in-line PQS Print Quality Control System; new PCS-L dual-monitor control system; and semi-automatic plate changers (auto plate changers optional). Available in two versions, the S format has a maximum 41.34x27.95? print area and the larger XL, a maximum 41.34x30.31? print area.
