and spectral data, but it is able to collect all of this data and control the “dot,” such as G7 gray balance and expanded gamut. It also provides closed loop feedback on how well the process is achieving this task and allows the user to consistently monitor its print production and maintain opti- mum printing conditions. “This is very important to me, as our industry evolves and as craftsmen retire, to purchase equipment using AI to make human-like interpretation of the printed result,” says Elzer. “It’s been a challenge to find traditional operators. Here at Grafika, we’re seeking out ‘print technologists of the future,’ younger professionals who are comfortable us- ing various press technology as tools to help them be pro- ductive and maintain the quality required by customers.” To ramp up production and increase capacity, the new Rapida 106 X is equipped with the Koenig & Bauer DriveTronic simultaneous roller wash (SRW) system, which washes up PMS colors while the press is in operation. This, says Elzer, will save time and increase their capacity. Until its recent purchase of a Koenig & Bauer press, Grafika had operated presses from a different press man- ufacturer. “As a volume industrialized printer for the food market, you have to consider a large format press as part of your future,” says Elzer. “It makes perfect sense to buy a mid-size press from them as we look toward purchasing a large format from the same manufacturer.”
