Some of the American companies that were having KBA presses built included Ivy Hill, Jostins, Bolger Concept to Print and RR Donnelley. KBA also ran test jobs on a Rapida 105 5/5 and Rapida 142 6+L in the company’s demo center.

Just a stone’s throw from the KBA factory is Ellerhold Printing, a package and poster printer that was the inspiration for the 81˝ press model. In fact, Ellerhold installed the first-ever 81˝ Rapida 205—a four-color machine with coater—in 2005.
