KBA Continues to Hold Global Large Format Position

The new Rapida 162 64˝ six-color press, while still a large-format model, provides a different set of features from the Rapida 205 that gives Edison Litho further flexibility. “On the new press, we can use smaller sheet sizes and still be competitive yet flexible for our customers,” says Joe Ostreicher, Edison Litho’s vice president. “The Rapida 162 prints a minimum sheet size of 25˝x38˝ allowing us to be competitive on any 40-inch job. But the Rapida 162 offers the same high quality and the same high degree of automation such as auto plate changing, as the Rapida 205. We contemplated other press sizes but we agreed that the Rapida 162 64˝ press would give our customers the best printed sheet available.”
