GE Richards, Graphco and Print & Finishing Solutions, the Exclusive Distributors for all RMGT 9, 7 and 5 Series Presses sold in the United States announce that RYOBI MHI Graphic Technology Ltd. (RMGT) will exhibit at drupa 2024 in Dusseldorf, Germany for 11 days from Tuesday, May 28 thru Friday, June 7. Under the theme “Assist Your Potential with Technological Expertise and Constant Innovation,” RMGT’s exhibits and demonstrations will focus on two major concepts: “Increased productivity for commercial printing through autonomous operation,” and “Further automation for package printing.”
On display for the commercial print market and the packaging market will be the 8-UP+ size RMGT 970PF-8+LED convertible perfector, which is also available in straight configurations up to 8 colors, perfectors up to 10 colors and all presses are available with in-line coating. New generation skeleton cylinders, and the most comprehensive automation packages available all contribute to the RMGT 9 Series press continuing to lead the 8-up sheetfed offset press market in North America. The RMGT booth will highlight how the advanced automation and laborsaving technologies of RMGT presses are pioneering a new era for both commercial printing and package printing. RMGT will also exhibit the 1060LX-6+CC in the 660 m2 booth in Hall 16 / Booth E11. The following presses will be exhibited and running live demonstrations.
For the Commercial Print and Packaging Market
The 970PF-8+LED is RMGT's full size 8-color convertible perfector. Capable of handling the world’s most popular 8-UP+ size, the 970 offers major cost advantages over larger size presses. This next-generation 8-UP+size press is equipped with an array of advanced automation functions for assisting the operator, including Automated Smart Assist Printing (ASAP) for automatic continuous printing of multiple jobs. Demonstrations will include continuous printing of two jobs using ASAP, highlighting the higher operating rate for commercial printing as well as operation by entry level operators made possible by the 970’s automation functions. This press has the following options:
A perfecting device ensures stable paper transport and reversing even during high-speed printing, and an LED-UV curing unit enables one-pass instant-drying perfecting.
A Smart-FPC fully automatic simultaneous plate changer with benderless plate clamp for quick job changes, and a predictive control system quickly achieves the target density.
A PQS-D (I+C+R) printing quality control system checks the quality of every printed sheet.
Automatic continuous printing of multiple jobs is made possible using ASAP in combination with the PQS-D printing quality control system.
Also on display will be the RMGT 1060 LX is a 1,060 mm format 6-color offset press equipped with a coating unit and long delivery. The 1060LX is an upgraded model that offers improved paper feed and delivery performance and a much shorter make-ready time during job changeover, significantly boosting productivity. The 1060LX’s advanced features, which greatly boost printing productivity through continuous operation and speedy job changeover, will be demonstrated using two print jobs with special colors and coating varnish. Optional features on this press include the following:
Continuous operation using an automatic nonstop feeder and delivery shutter.
High-speed printing of 17,100 S.P.H., including the use of a polygon type vacuum wheel at the delivery section and enhanced feeder-and-registration section functions that increase the printing speed for heavy stock.
Simul Changer fully automatic simultaneous plate changer for fast job changeover, and a retractable coating unit (with a semi-automatic plate changer) that enables preparation for varnish coating to be performed while printing.
Instant-drying printing using an LED-UV curing unit; capable of high-value-added printing such as chemical embossed printing.
The RMGT booth will also include smart factory proposals for optimizing production by network connection of the printing processes, as well as the latest drying technology and other solutions. We invite you to visit RMGT and experience these innovations for yourself!
