Cincinnati, US, based JBM Envelope has invested in a Roland 700 DirectDrive 41inch 6-colour press with inline sheeting - claimed to be the world's fastest makeready press.
JBM's chief operating officer, Dan Puthoff, says: "The design of several key features on the Roland 700 DirectDrive were decisive reasons in our choice. The advanced simultaneous features that included the ability to load plates, change a coating form while washing the press, including the impression cylinder, while sending ink profile changes (all in one function) are significant differences over the current press manufacturer."
"It will become the cornerstone of our printing format, as well as the workhorse in our upgraded pressroom," adds Marcus Sheanshang, president and CEO of JBM. "We sought a press that would provide us with fast changeovers and high net run speeds as well as advanced colour management. This provides our customers with the best performing product possible."
