To maintain color quality and efficiency, the press features the QualiTronic ColorControl inline color control sys- tem and fast makeready tools with unbent printing plates. Mega’s cus- tomers also benefit from the Rapida’s full QualiTronic PDF inline image inspection system, which compares every printed sheet to the PDF data from pre-press. To keep up with the firm’s growth and additional capacity, the press is equipped with Koenig & Bauer’s unique SIS Sensoric Infeed System, which requires no setting and ensures mark-free, reliable feeding. The press also features fully automatic plate changing, real-time performance monitoring, and simultaneous roller washing. Macri’s team has found the new Rapida 106 to be 50 percent more efficient, with the firm’s fastest makereadies ever. Since the press arrived, Mega’s team has been impressed with Koenig & Bauer’s customer sup- port, with access to technical assistance, training, and guidance from the manufacturer’s team of experts, local support staff, and Montreal-based technicians.
