Fast prototyping for the international packaging market will be one of the tasks awaiting a new KBA 74 Karat +L digitally integrated press when it is installed at Jennings DAR Ltd, Barnsley in August 2004.

Jennings DAR (Design, Artwork and Reprographics) is an 80-employee company that has a mirror organisation in Sri Lanka and partner pre-press companies in the USA and China.

The Barnsley (UK) company, founded in nearby Leeds 15 years ago, provides a supply chain management and reprographic bureau service across Europe, originating designs for the packaging, point of sale and point of purchase sectors as well as a substantial tranche of publishing work.

An organisation said to be totally experienced and comfortable with digital workflows, Jennings DAR looks forward to the Karat's arrival.

The press which will be delivered with a full coating capability in-line, will be networked and will represent another output device for a company already digitally combining all the elements of design through to plates, all backed by a large image archive.

The machine's excellent substrate flexibility and its fast make-ready influenced the decision to buy it said Jennings.

KBA said the compact 74 Karat combines waterless offset printing with digital workflow, direct imaging and an advanced level of automation for a very competitive sector of the market.

A complete job change takes only a claimed 15 minutes and the press operates at 10,000 sheets per hour.

The Gravuflow keyless precision inking system is designed to cut make-readies and waste to the bone.
