Rapida 105:
Better and more flexible
than ever before
Rapida 105 has for years stood as a synonym for reliability
and an attractive price-performance ratio in medium-format
sheetfed offset printing. The lasting market success has been
founded above all on its superior substrate flexibility, ease of
operation, a robust construction, diverse possibilities for inline
finishing and, last but not least, the excellent print quality.

Strong performance begins at the feeder. On the Rapida 105,
state-of-the-art dedicated drives have been standard for years.

Stability
in print
The new printing unit substructures have further smoothed
the curvature of sheet travel on the Rapida 105. For even the
heaviest materials, bending is reduced to an absolute minimum.
The sophisticated Venturi sheet guiding system ensures a
contact- and scratch-free passage through the press for every
conceivable substrate – whether thick or thin, solid or
multiple-ply. And the typical continuous gear train provides for
the desired quiet running and ultimate precision of the print
on the sheet.

Washing during long runs and at job changeover is usually a
time-consuming procedure, but at the same time simply necessary
to guarantee constantly high print quality. Here, too, the Rapida 105
is ideally prepared.

Shining finishes :
Endless diversity for
maximum creativity
Inline finishing is nowadays the icing on the cake for every print
process. Whether for straightforward protection or as a design
element on commercial products, whether for special effects or spot
coating in high-quality packaging printing and a broad range of special
applications – the coater of the Rapida 105 is ready to master all
challenges.
AirTronic delivery:
Rapida 106 inside
Designed for perfect aerodynamics, the delivery of the
Rapida 105 adopts the underlying concept of the Rapida 106.
The swan neck follows directly after the last printing unit,
providing for significantly smoother sheet travel and precise
pile formation irrespective of the substrate. Another essential
feature is the air-cushioned sheet transport through to precise
delivery onto the pile. Even sensitive substrates can thus be
handled with ease at full production speed.
