The compact Genius 5-colour 52UV is the Jet Technologies highlight of the Pacprint 09 exhibition in Melbourne.
A must see for professionals in the Offset, Digital, Screen and Card Printing arena, the KBA Genius “heavy metal” machine is the world’s only waterless, keyless UV sheetfed offset press.
It has the widest stock range in the B3 format, from 100-gsm to 0.8mm, from paper and board to plastics such as Vinyl, Lenticular, ABS, PP and PC.
Its waterless technology guarantees reliable reproduction and a brilliant offset quality with no ghosting.
The press prints in four or five colours with UV curing inks that harden rapidly and completely, thus allowing further processing immediately afterwards.
It is the satellite cylinder arrangement with a central impression cylinder which lends the Genius 52UV its small footprint and distinctive appearance.
Since there is no sheet transfer during impression, registration is always 100 per cent. Costly materials can be printed with a minimum of waste.
Automatic plate changing and a control console with a touchscreen display that can be slid from one end of the press to the other permit oneman operation and fast job changes.
An additional inline varnish unit allows superb flexibility in producing a wide range of print and packaging material. The Genius is the one stop press.
