The existing Rapida 105 41-inch eight-color press, along with the new press, will allow K-1 Packaging to meet its targets through moving jobs between the two models based on scheduling and other needs.
Similar to the current model, the Rapida 105 eight-color press is also provided with an advanced automated technology such as fully automated plate loading.
Rapida 105 eight-color press also features Koenig & Bauer’s QualiTronic ColorControl system, which is an inline color measurement and control camera system that monitors and manages color consistency through capturing a snapshot of every printed sheet.
The system generates measurement values, which can be used for rapid dynamic inline control of the ink key settings.
K-1 Packaging Group president Mike Tsai said: “Our main objective is to add value to a brand’s product by making it stand out on a store shelf and become more exciting and presentable.
“We produce unique eye-catching packaging designs and deliver premium quality all under the roof at our City of Industry headquarters. Our one-stop shop saves our customers time and minimizes communication between too many vendors.”
Rapida 105 eight-color press is also having flexibility to provide output measurement reports for K-1 and its clients.
The board package capability of the Rapida 105 press will enable K-1 to expand its production portfolio and meet customers’ requirements with a broader array of possible substrates.
The UV capabilities of the system allows printer to be used with a wider range of substrates, enabling to complete highly-critical multi-color and specialized work in one pass.
Tsai further added: “We’ve had a very positive experience with the reliability and performance of our Koenig & Bauer press models for nearly 20 years. This is an important investment for our firm and its future as well as our loyal customers and our combined continued growth.”
