Technical information

The inking unit and dampening unit –
quality in a nutshell

  • The speed-compensated Alcolor film dampening unit with Vario function prevents hickeys and ensures the best results through a stable ink-water balance.

The dryer systems –
quickly and efficiently into postpress

The infrared and hot-air drying offered by the DryStar Coating ensures excellent results in challenging coating applications.

The feeder –
high performance for quality right from the start

A central suction tape and Venturi nozzles at the sheet alignment allow fast material changes as well as a wide variety of substrates. They also guarantee gentle sheet travel, even at high speeds.

The high-pile delivery –
perfection right down to the pile

Venturi nozzles in the sheet guide plate gently guide the sheet to the delivery on an air cushion, meaning there is no contact.

The coating unit –
for the highest standards of finishing

The chamber blade system ensures a constant coating supply and uniform coating application.

TransferJacket Blue

The replaceable cylinder jacket ensures gentle sheet travel and greatly reduced cleaning thanks to its lotus effect that repels inks and coatings.

one-of-a-kind navigation and automation

Prinect Press Center 3 control station with intuitive Intellistart 3 operator guidance system for fast, process-oriented setup, user-friendly operation, predictable results and improved performance.

The washup devices –
intelligent and economical washing

Sheet travel and perfecting device –
reliable guidance, flawless perfecting
