There will be something for everyone to talk about this weekend in the manroland booth (#604) at the Graphics of the Americas show.  The 3-day event opens Friday at the Miami Beach Convention Center, and at the center of conversation will be the new ROLAND 50 press and Euroman 32-page web press.  Representatives will also be on hand to discuss the printcom line of consumables as well as other products.

The ROLAND 50 is a dynamic small format press that has received much attention since being introduced at drupa last year.  The 20-inch press is loaded with features normally found in medium and large format presses, including double-size printing cylinders and transferters that allow for contact-free sheet travel with no marking.  With a maximum size of 14.26" x 20.7", it offers exceptional register stability and precision color control.  Capable of producing 13,000 sph, the ROLAND 50 is designed to shorten makeready time with automatic plate loading and other time-saving features.

The new Euroman 32-page, double-circumference heatset web press combines  efficiency, flexibility and productivity while maintaining high quality and cutting-edge technology.  With the ability to meet any demand for advertising inserts, brochures, directories, magazines and catalogs, among others, it combines efficient automation to deliver high output.  High quality, ClosedLoop control systems for color and cut-off register provide constant quality and ensure low waste, and the automatic webbing-up device is the fastest on the market.

Representatives of manroland's PRINTVALUE program will highlight the printcom line of consumables, rollers and supplies.  They will also discuss the availability of upgrades for the ROLAND 700 press series.
