Litho Press Adds (CONT’D FROM PAGE 30)

The new Rapida 145 press, to be delivered this fall, will join an impressive line-up of sheetfed presses, including a 29-inch by 41-inch, a 44-inch by 64-inch, a 51-inch by 73-inch press with the world’s largest cold foil unit, and the world’s largest sheetfed press: a 59-inch by 81-inch Koenig & Bauer Rapida 205. “What drove our management team to choose Koenig & Bauer is our utmost level of trust in them and their high level of service and build quality,” says Lacy. “This press promises to be operating at such a high level of auton- omy, providing performance to make us more profitable, delivering high print quality, superior makeready and turn- around, and additional key benefits.” As a certified G7 Master Printer, Litho Press delivers the very best color management for its clients’ products. Its proofing systems and presses are calibrated and main- tained for optimal quality control, which provide consis- tent, accurate color from proof to print. Its new Rapida 145 is equipped with unique inline quality measurement and control systems such as the Koenig & Bauer QualiTronic ColorControl that ensures consistent print quality. Among its additional innovations, the new Rapida 145 accepts unbent plates, which eliminates a step in pre- press, and its simultaneous roller wash works on UV ap- plications. It has a new cold foil module delivering foil sav- ings. Ink color can be changed in less than two minutes, due to upgraded ink ducts.

most important factor for us is to meet our clients’ de- manding schedules and reduce turnaround time as much as possible. The new Koenig & Bauer press will give us extra firepower, expand our production capacity by more

than 25 percent, and its automated systems will reduce our turnaround time from two to three days to one to two days, making us one of the fastest shops in the industry.” The management team at Indianapolis, Indiana based Litho Press: from left, John Lacy, Chief Operating Officer; Jack Lacy, CEO; and Bernie Lacy, President.
