Short makeready times:

• Preset functions for automatic feeder setting give additional production time.

User friendliness:

• The Prinect Press Center 2 makes it simple to control all the feeder functions and saves you time.
• Feeder operation is intuitive and therefore easy to pick up.

High Productivity:

• Plate, blanket, and impression cylinders with enhanced surfaces are wear-resistant and easy to clean
• Matt chrome-plated dampening distributor below the dampening form roller for an even film of dampening solution

Shortmakeready times:

• AutoPlate Pro (4) needs less than two minutes for a plate change on a five-color press.

High Productivity:

• Very quick reaction of the inking units when settings are adjusted
• Speed-compensated Alcolor dampening system (3) for a stable ink/water balance, with Vario function to prevent hickeys. The Vario function removes particles of dirt during the production run.
• Preset function for adopting ink presettings
• Color Assistant Pro (7) for fully automated monitoring of the ink fountain liner, self-calibration of the ink zones, and automatic adjustment of characteristic curves for high-precision ink metering and also customized optimization of ink presettings for different papers, inks, and printing conditions.
• Color Fast Solution speeds up the inking unit response by 50 to 70 percent
• Automatic adjustment of the inking form rollers and dampening form roller in the case of diagonal register correction
• Inking unit temperature control ensures constant production conditions and stable print quality over the entire production run

Short makeready times:

• Ink fountain liner for fast and clean ink changeover
• Additional time is saved by adopting ink presettings
• Color Assistant Pro calibrates the ink zones based on the condition of the ink fountain liner to ensure even faster inking-up during job changes
• The cartridge-based automatic ink supply system InkStar (9) shortens the makeready times and reduces ink consumption.

Environment:

• Using FilterStar Compact extends the service life of the dampening solution and thus minimizes fresh water consumption.
• Color Assistant Pro saves up to 150 waste sheets and thus conserves valuable resources.
• Equipment packages available for alcohol-reduced or alcohol-free printing

High productivity:

• Fully automated changeover of the perfecting device (5) takes less than a minute.
• Eccentric rotary suckers and a patented pincer gripper system ensure register-accurate transfer during sheet reversal
• Electro-pneumatic missing sheet detector immediately detects short or missing sheets and ensures reliable sheet travel
• PerfectJacket Blue with a special surface coating for outstanding perfecting quality and a longer service life
• TransferJacket Blue (10) with a special surface coating for mark-free sheet travel and significantly reduced cleaning
• U1 transfer cylinders (6) with adjustable diameters optimize sheet travel when switching between thin and very thick substrates
• Tried-and-tested cylinder concept ensures smooth sheet travel with a wide range of substrates

Short makeready times:

• The perfecting device with fully automated changeover cuts makeready times

User friendliness:

• All the key press functions, such as changeover of the perfecting device, are controlled centrally via the high-performance Prinect Press Center 2 control station.

Environment:

• Low air consumption thanks to the tried-and-tested cylinder concept reduces energy requirements significantly.

Short makeready times:

• Automatic, program-controlled washup devices (11) for inking rollers, blanket and impression cylinders ensure outstanding results

High productivity:

• Protective coating option gets the job to the finishing stage faster, thereby reducing throughput times for your jobs
• Spot and metallic coatings of a consistently high quality
• Perfect for special applications with opaque white and special coatings such as pearly luster or metallic finishes.

Short makeready times:

• Combination clamping bar, which enables operators to use either blankets or coating plates

User friendliness:

• Chambered blade system with easily exchangeable screen rollers for precise and stable coating application, in particular for spot coatings and special coatings
• Central control, including remote control of circumferential and lateral registers, at the Prinect Press Center 2

High productivity:

• DryStar Coating (14): Infrared/hot-air dryer for optimum coating drying
• The outstanding drying performance of DryStar drying systems enables rapid progress to the finishing stage.
• Perfectly integrated and with the minimum distance from the substrate the drying systems reach excellent drying results at maximum energy efficiency.

Environment:

• Highly efficient drying with DryStar saves valuable energy and helps protect the environment. The dryer output can be matched automatically to the printing speed.
