Print finishing and for the first time post-press were major topics on the KBA stand at drupa. One innovation presented by KBA-Sheetfed at new user Kolbe-Coloco Spezialdruck in Versmold, Germany, was the new Rapida RSP 106 rotary screen printing press.
KBA-Sheetfed developed the Rapida RSP 106 as an offline finishing system for luxury packaging, high-quality promotional material and corporate publishing based on the Rapida platform (feeder, delivery, sheet travel, dryer, console etc.).
Special finishers or offset printers who wish to expand their portfolio by adding extremely high-quality finishing are a key target group for the Rapida RSP 106. A further group is screenprinters who finish large print runs. They profit from its high production speed of up to 8,000sph depending on job. What is more, the new rotary screen printing press is also suited to new business fields in the field of industrial printing. As part of post treatment the rotary screen system is one of many options for the new KBA VariJET 106 Powered by Xerox inkjet press.
The Rapida RSP 106 consists of a calendar unit and the actual screenprinting unit. The calendar unit consists of one impression cylinder with a special compressible jacket as well as a switched chrome roller.
The screenprinting unit itself is equipped with the AirTronic Drum, a perforated impression cylinder with a perforated jacket. Air suction fixes the sheet over the full area of the jackets. Above it is the rotary screen, which can be changed quickly in a few simple steps. The screen only rotates when sheets run through the unit. The blade can be accessed from the side for changing.
The Rapida RSP 106 can be used with varied fabric and screen types. A smart in-house workflow in pre-press reduces the outlay for rotary screen making.
The Rapida RSP 106 is tried and tested, and has been available since drupa 2016.
