The first UK Rapida 205, KBA's 'Super XXL' format sheetfed press, has been ordered by Augustus Martin and will be the largest sheetfed press ever installed in the UK, claimed press manufacturer KBA.
"The publicity generated by our announcement in January brought us a large batch of customer enquiries.
For the work that these customers want us to produce it quickly became obvious that we needed the flexibility of the fifth unit for both corporate colours and for sealing.
We flew to Germany and KBA was very accommodating by allowing us to upgrade our order whilst maintaining our original delivery date of this Summer," said Odessa managing director Mike Charles.
The Rapida 205 which will be housed in a new 3,000 square foot press hall represents an investment of over GBP three million and will print both UV and conventional inks on a wide variety of substrates.
The giant press has a maximum sheet size of 1,510mm X 2,050mm and operates at a claimed 9,000 sheets per hour (sph).
