2 Brilliant effects Rotary screen printing in sheetfed offset quality Over the past decades, KBA has built up a reputation as the unrivaled specialist for all forms of high-quality inline finishing in sheetfed offset. It was thus a logical step to continue development of the practice-proven technology and to add a rotary screen printing press to the product portfolio. After all, screen printing is a key to brilliant finishing options. The attainable ink or coating thickness of up to 250 µm is over ten times that of other printing processes. At the same time, larger pigments can be processed. Significantly improved and even new finishing effects are the result. The Rapida RSP 106 is an interesting choice for various applications: Firstly, for offset printers who have to date used exclusively an inline process for finishing. Screen printing is especially suitable for high-quality finishes on advertizing products, as well as for signs, posters and packaging. Many print companies have screen and offset presses standing side by side. A screen printing press on the technical level of sheetfed offset and furthermore with a common operating philosophy simplifies internal processes and means significantly enhanced efficiency in production. Anyone who has worked on a Rapida will immediately feel at home on the Rapida RSP 106. Screen printers benefit above all from the high production speeds of the Rapida RSP 106. With outputs up to 8,000 sheets per hour, it is significantly more productive than a conventional screen printing press. With the Rapida RSP 106, screen printing is more profitable than ever before. Especially for longer runs. A further positive effect is the shortening of delivery times. And for some customers, that is a stronger argument than just the price. Screen printing is a universal process. As such, it facilitates also untypical applications and new business fields, for example in industrial-scale printing, where the conventional screen process is too slow. The significantly more economical alternative of rotary screen printing, on the other hand, offers interesting perspectives in printed electronics, home decor products and many other previously unimagined fields. The Rapida RSP 106 sets you up for an unbelievably broad spectrum of possibilities. And that with a press based on the established platform concept of the Rapida sheetfed offset presses. Grasp the opportunity and experience a whole new dimension of rotary screen printing.
