Rapida 105

More flexible    than ever before The Rapida 105 has for years stood as a synonym for reliability and an attractive price-performance ratio in medium-format sheetfed offset printing. The lasting market success has been founded above all on its superior substrate flexibility, outstanding ease of operation, a robust construction, diverse possibilities for inline finishing and, last but not least, the excellent print quality.

But competition is becoming ever fiercer, turnaround times ever shorter and the demands of the market ever more complex. The pressures placed on operators and presses continue to grow relentlessly. It is not least for this reason that the Rapida 105 shares the technology platform of the makeready world champion Rapida 106 / Rapida 106 X and is packed with design solutions which were previously unique to its two sister presses. These include: • Preset capabilities • Gripper systems • Optimised inking units • Improved sheet guiding • CleanTronic washing systems • VariDry dryer systems • More...

Inline printing and finishing The Rapida 105 is a genuine all-rounder. It handles an especially wide range of materials, from lightweight paper to board and microflute corrugated substrates up to a thickness of 1.2 mm. Plastic films can also be printed.

The same extensive flexibility applies with regard to the potential fields of application for the Rapida 105: for commercial printing, the press can be supplied in configurations with up to eight inking units and facilities for 4-over-4 perfecting in an inline process. Packaging and label printers benefit from a diversity of inline finishing possibilities. Whether for conventional or UV production, customer-tailored VariDry dryer installations promise an optimal drying result for practically any ink or coating system you may choose. On top of this, the Rapida 105 can be equipped with a cold...

The finest print results Your customers rightly expect perfect print quality and absolute consistency over the entire length of a run. To achieve this with a high degree of automation, and if necessary to document the quality attained, the Rapida 105 can be configured with various measuring and control systems.

For register measurement and control, you can choose between the especially compact solution ErgoTronic ACR and the automatic system ErgoTronic ICR. In both cases, necessary corrections are calculated for the lateral, circumferential and diagonal register settings. The Rapida 105 can also be equipped with either online or inline colour control systems. ErgoTronic ColorDrive and ErgoTronic ColorControl both scan the colour bars of a sheet placed on the ErgoTronic console. Measurement is possible at any point over the whole sheet. After confirmation of the proposed corrections, the Rapida 105...
