For this, the new press is perfectly equipped: with a cylinder circumference of 1156 mm, a web width of 965 mm, a manroland web systems reel splicer RSC 15, 4 printing units and the fully automatic plate change APL. The manroland web systems Inline Control Systems for ink density (IDCm), color register (IRC) and cutoff register (ICC) ensure highest printing quality and lowest waste rates.
