When China Print opens its doors in Beijing from June 23-27, 2021, visitors will be a-tending the industry’s first in-person trade fair in more than a year. Koenig & Bauer has booked a stand measuring almost 1,000 square meters and promises a world première with its plans to showcase a new generation of Rapida 105 sheetfed offset presses under its banner of “We print your world.”
A demonstration of the six-color coater press with extended delivery (max. sheet format 720/740 × 1,050 mm) will be held in a series of practice-oriented live shows each day. It will used for producing a broad spectrum of products on board (high-quality folding car-tons and door hangers) and paper (landscape and animal posters).
The planned shows will allow different types of job changeover to be shown, with not only image and substrate changes, but also the disengaging and re-engaging of individual printing units being demonstrated.
The press was designed on the basis of the Rapida 106 and Rapida 106 X series, and is distinguished by the upgrades to its automation components, increased printing speeds and a host of Rapida-typical design solutions
The Rapida 105 is an ideal solution for commercial, packaging and label printers alike. This new press generation will enable print companies to make their products even better and more flexible than ever before.
Koenig & Bauer is currently reaping the benefits of positive post-pandemic economic de-velopments in China. Sheetfed offset presses of the Rapida series are popular on the Chinese market, and demand for them has remained stable for several months now. The ma-jority of the new investments are being made by larger print companies at present.
“The new Rapida 105 generation is the right product at the right time,” said Dietmar Heyduck, senior VP of Sales at Koenig & Bauer Sheetfed. “It is characterized by both the latest technologies and an ultramodern design.”
The current trend emerging in China tends to favor sheetfed offset systems with six or more colors and inline finishing options. Alongside highly complex equipment variants, customer demands primarily focus on automation solutions for faster makeready and for boosting production efficiency.
The joint venture Koenig & Bauer Durst has also identified a high level of interest among Chinese printing companies in its new VariJET 106 press for digital folding carton produc-tion. A model of the press will be on show at the trade fair stand, and will provide insights into future packaging printing applications.
