Offset Bigger than Ever at Drupa
MAN Roland Rebrands
Focusing much attention at Drupa on its name change and rebranding from “MAN Roland” to “manroland,” the press manufacturer debuted a new 20˝, 13,000-sph contender: the Roland 50, which incorporates technology from its XXL press platform. This includes double-size printing cylinders and transferters that allow printing on substrates ranging from 0.04-mil lightweight papers to 0.8-mil board stocks. Remote adjustment of substrate thickness is automatic, axial and radial register is via the plate cylinders, and—like with XXL presses—diagonal register works via the transferter.
