Dutch Printer Extends KBA Production Capacity
Dutch printing house Janssen Pers Rotatiedruk, a longstanding KBA customer based in Gennep, has ordered an extension to the single-width Continent web press it installed in 1999.
The Performa 74 rounds off KBA's B2 (29-inch) product range comprising the Rapida 74, Rapida 74 G (Gravuflow) and 74 Karat.
The five-colour version exhibited at Graphitec will print a number of different jobs.
One of the Performa 74's biggest strengths, according to KBA, is the sheet conveyance system with double-size cylinders, which promotes a smooth sheet travel that is unusual in its price category.
Stable inking and dampening, semi-automatic plate changing, automatic washing, optional anilox coating and advanced control technology with optional integration in a JDF workflow are just some of the many features that make the Performa 74 an attractive proposition for small-scale printshops, beleives KBA.
The B3 Genius 52, whose one-man operation, fast job changes and ultra-low waste levels are coupled with the superior quality delivered by waterless offset, is suitable for short runs, believes the company.
KBA said that in recent years it has established a reputation in the French print media industry as an provider of high-performance presses.
In 2005 its French subsidiary, KBA-France in Tremblay-en-France, posted a 10 per cent increase in turnover, predominantly with large-format sheetfed presses and web presses.
Contracts included 150 sheetfed printing units (60 of them for size 6 or bigger) plus a number of Compacta commercial web presses and triple-width Commander 6/2 newspaper presses. Request a free brochure from KBA ...
