POINTE-CLAIRE , QUEBEC—  Litho Quebec has added the first new generation Koenig & Bauer Rapida 105 41-inch six colour press. The new Rapida 105, which started production this fall, is key to continuing this mission forged by the firm’s ownership. Advanced technology of the most necessary features for colour critical work is the Koenig & Bauer QualiTronic inline ColorControl system. Its camera system, installed after the coating unit, permits automatic measurements of optical density in the freshly printed colour bars. These measurement values serve as a basis for fast dynamic inline control of the ink key settings. As jobs flow through the new Rapida, its simultaneous roller wash system runs parallel to other makeready production processes, allowing jobs to continuously run undeterred while dramatically reducing makeready.
