Two pioneers of waterless offset, Japanese plate manufacturer Toray and its German distributor Ernst Marks in Muhlheim (Marks-3zet), will run demos on KBA presses in a waterless competence centre on the Marks-3zet stand in hall 3 at Drupa 2004.
The KBA Genius 52 UV press will not be the only newcomer on the Marks-3zet stand.
The show will also see the world premiere of the Rapida 74 G (Gravuflow), a B2 waterless offset press featuring the same keyless inking system as the 74 Karat with low level of start-up waste (10 sheets or less).
In all other respects - its Technotrans temperature control system, automatic plate changing, remote format and register control, JDF workflow integration etc - the 15,000 sheets per hour (sph) G version resembles its conventional counterpart, the Rapida 74.
The press in Dusseldorf will be a four colour with coater and delivery extension.
Being a unit-type press, the Rapida 74 G can be configured with up to eight printing units plus perfectors, coaters and other inline finishing options.
The first presses to roll off the production line have already been sold to a short-run packaging printer in Sweden.
The innovative design of the Rapida 74 G primarily targets printshops specialising in short-run production in more than four colours on costly substrates (aluminium-coated paper, non-standard stock, film etc) or already operating CTP and unwilling to add a computer-to-press system such as the 74 Karat.
