Designed for high quality printing results

Inside the Versafire LP, an active perfecting register scanner in conjunction with continuous calibration and integrated sheet cooling ensure reproducible quality. Optionally, each individual sheet can be compared with the corrugated PDF data and automatically rejected if there are any deviations. The result: always a perfect pile.

Integrated postpress opens up new possibilities, including on-demand production in printrun one. A sorted output of jobs saves time in finishing and reduces delivery times. With Versafire LP, you expand your offering. If requested, brochures trimmed on three sides with a straight spine, posters up to 1,260 millimeters long, and six- or eight-page banners including duplex creasing can be produced.

Large feed station trays

Sufficient space for the printing material, suitable for, e. g., 2,500 sheets each at 80 g/m² grammage.

They can be refilled independently during production and increase the production capacity during autonomous production.

Integrated Quality Proof

Automatic quality control in the ACD (Auto Color Diagnosis) unit. Color deviations are automatically detected and corrected through realtime measurement of each individual sheet after printing in the Image Quality Monitor. Defects such as artifacts on the sheet can be detected by comparison with the PDF data and the sheets can be rejected if necessary.

New basic computer

Intuitive operation on the 21.5 ̋ touchscreen monitor with browserbased user interface and media recognition unit.

Inline finishing

High added value, because printing and postpress take place in one go. Continuous production with new postpress options increases the diversity of the offering and shortens production and delivery times.

High quality CMYK printing

With two toner cartridges per color in the twin toner bay, non-stop production can be carried out in CMYK. This enables cartridges to be changed during operation, an essential requirement for autonomous production.

High application diversity

Reliable processing of grammages from 40 to 470 g/m² thanks to the large transport radius.

Separate banner trays

Additional material trays provide space for large formats such as banners up to 960 mm long.

Safe paper transport and alignment

The paper alignment is essential for accurate, high-quality perfecting. The Swing and Shift technology ensures this register accuracy right up to the banner format. In the feeding tray, sensors and air support prevent the infeed of double sheets. Vacuum suctiontapes ensure safe processing of a wide variety of printing materials.

Fuser Technology

The fuser fixes the applied toner onto the sheet at up to 200 °C, depending on the material thickness. Depending on the motif, the gloss level can be adjusted individually.
