With the One Touch strategy and the autoprint series, manroland has successfully introduced solutions for fully automated newspaper production. At IFRA 2010 in Hamburg, the company's presentation will focus on user reports, along with the PRINTVALUE services portfolio.

A development that is running like clockwork: the first Automatic Plate Loading (APL) logistics systems are already in operation, and autoprint presses with APL robots are producing successfully in numerous printing companies. The workflow from exposing the plates right up to changing them in the printing unit takes place without any operator intervention. Inline control systems automatically regulate ink density, color and cut-off register, web tension, and fountain solution dosage.

There are many different reasons why manroland customers are convinced about the autoprint series: for example, lower investment sums because fewer presses are needed, or faster production, or lower personnel costs. All this with modern ergonomics and ecology-compatible energy balance sheets.

How does autoprint help you to succeed? This is what manroland wants to discuss with its customers and report on user experiences. Further show topics from manroland, the leading heatset-coldset specialist, will be flexibility and enhancement in newspaper production. The PRINTVALUE experts will show the way to an optimal printing operation, providing information about printservices solutions such as the manroland STORE for online procurement of wear parts, certified printcom consumable materials, and printnet networking for fully automated production.

manroland subsidiary ppi media is to present the printnet OM workflow with the autoprint presses, and demonstrate cross-media ad solutions and developments in individual applications for Smartphones and Tablet PCs.

You can find manroland and ppi Media on Stand 4.420.
