With an order for two new double-width KBA Cortina presses and a comprehensive retrofit program for its existing KBA Commander line, newspaper printer Coldset Printing Partners (CPP) from Belgium has committed to a major investment in print capabilities.
Coldset Printing Partners was founded by the two Belgian media houses Corelio and Concentra in 2010, and is the largest newspaper printer in the country.
The first of six retrofit phases will begin in the middle of next year, and the two KBA Cortinas are scheduled to go live at the CPP print center in Paal-Beringen in 2018 and 2019. With their flexible web width (1200-1620mm/47.2-63.8in), the Cortinas are able to produce varied formats.
The waterless coldset process realized on the Cortina provides excellent print quality for newspapers, magazines and a range of other special publications, while at the same time reducing waste to a minimum. Both presses are able to print newspapers with up to 64 pages in tabloid format.
The reelstands, printing towers, folders, controllers and consoles of the existing KBA Commander are to be brought into line with the latest state of technology. The impact on daily production will be minimized by spreading the work over six integrated retrofit phases lasting until mid-2019.
