KBA is to unveil what it calls some groundbreaking innovations to enhance the flexibility and cost efficiency of its conventional presses at IfraExpo in Belgium next month.
The innovations are also designed to enhance its unique waterless tower press, the ultra-compact Cortina. They include some newly patented products such as a dedicated tabloid press, but until the expo, KBA is remaining coy about them, saying it will reveal more at a press conference on the first day.
Seven out of a total of nine Cortina press lines sold to date have come on stream in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and Switzerland, four of them at typical newspaper production plants of varying sizes.
Equipped with automatic plate changing and a raft of other new features, they print numerous split editions cost-effectively and in a superb quality, KBA says.
