Manroland sheetfed to leverage potential of Drupa

The sheet-fed offset operation of the now-defunct manroland AG, manroland sheetfed, is preparing to use spring’s Drupa to talk about the company's new era, and the way it is reshaping to become a ‘responsive partner’.
 
Manroland sheetfed will exhibit close to manroland web system, the former web-fed press division of the old manroland. Manroland web systems has already stated that it will present the work it is doing to become a valued partner to the printing industry.
 
A key element of manroland sheetfed’s Drupa presence will be its solutions for the packaging market. The company said these solutions have been created based on intensive research and development as well as customer feedback about market requirements, and include: the Roland 708LV printing press equipped with the new indexed InlineFoiler, which saves up to 55 percent in consumption of foil; an in-line coating unit for added value printing effects that enhance the quality delivered by the press; intelligent color pre-setting with self-learning software that can bring ongoing productivity gains to the production floor; and all required in-line control technology, from color to register and full sheet inspection down to 200dpi, along with PDF comparison down to four-point text  with a multiple camera system to ensure accuracy and readability of the final printed product.
 
Visitors to manroland sheetfed’s stand will also be able to learn about other high-productivity packaging solutions, like the production in half-format with the Roland 500 and medium format with the Roland 700, as well as special 0B+ and 3B+ sizes, with speeds as high as 18,000 sheets per hour. In addition, manroland sheetfed now offers larger formats 5 and 6 with the Roland 900 at speeds of up to 16,000 sheets per hour with the high-speed packaging equipment. Manroland sheetfed also offers logistic solutions, from the new automated non-stop to full configurations that deliver efficient process optimization individually scalable to every printer’s needs.
 
‘Visitors to our stand will clearly observe the power of manroland sheetfed solutions to help their companies face the many challenges of today’s printing industry with the most innovative and productive sheet-fed offset solutions in the industry,’ said Alfred Rothlaender (pictured, top), president of manroland sheetfed.
 
‘With our new structure firmly in place, customers will experience an even more responsive partner in manroland sheetfed. We are dedicated to helping customers future-proof their businesses as we work hard to meet or exceed their expectations for excellence, both in product and services.’
