Major new developments to Landa's S10FC and S10C Nanographic Printing Presses are said to enhance print quality and upgrade the press design.
Landa founder, chairman and CEO Benny Landa says, "We have been working closely with our customers to ensure that our presses will provide the performance, print quality and feature set for high speed production. In addition, the new Landa Operator Cockpit will set a new standard for operating any production press, whether digital or offset."
The Landa Operator Cockpit, an integrated production management centre located at the delivery end of the press, enables operators to monitor and control the machine "while effortlessly glancing at the delivery area". Operator-centric with an advanced ergonomic design, the cockpit surrounds the operator with touchscreen press controls, job management tools, video feeds from all key press functions, production-related vital signs and a lighted inspection table.
New ink ejectors are said to improve print quality and increase press productivity. With a resolution of 1,200dpi, their print quality is claimed to match offset resolution and grey levels. The new ink ejector architecture also "significantly improves" the reliability of the ink ejection and enables redundancy in case of nozzle failure.
Additional developments and features include an automatic handling system that supports both paper and plastics substrates. An auxiliary delivery tray will enable operators to automatically collect proofs without interrupting the normal production process.
