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.
And another press of the same series has been earmarked for a printer in Baku (Azerbaijan).
KBA added that discussions conducted during the exhibition also clearly showed that increasing investment could be expected in the Russian printing industry in the next few years.
A series of print demonstrations were staged by KBA on its Rapida 105 universal press on the stand of its Russian subsidiary KBA RUS.
The press was running in a six-colour coater configuration with extended delivery.
Equipped for labels production, and with an enlarged format of 740mm x 1,050mm, the press could be seen running at speeds of 16,000 sheets per hour.
It has now entered service at a local Moscow printing company.
KBA added that the exhibition stand also attracted many visitors from the commercial web and newspaper sectors and a number of new projects have since materialised.
A printing unit of the Compacta 215 16-page commercial web press, which was to be seen at the exhibition alongside the medium-format sheetfed Rapida, was subsequently transferred to the KBA laboratory at the Moscow State University of Printing Arts (MGUP), where it will be used for training.
At a fringe event held at the MGUP during the exhibition, Dr Roland Reichenberger and Ulf Funke from KBA gave presentations on new technology for sheetfed offset printing and the trends in newspaper production.
The company also introduced a new reference book for the students of the Moscow university.
'Sheetfed Offset Printing Presses from KBA'.
The book was written by a team of authors from the MGUP, with support from KBA and KBA RUS.
KBA added that a second joint reference book that will address web offset issues and a series of special seminars on KBA products are already planned. Request a free brochure from KBA ...
