Dee Paper Box Adds New KBA Wide-Format

DALLAS—January 20, 2015—Dee Paper Box Company, a folding carton design, printing, and manufacturing firm located in Chester, PA, is broadening its pressroom capabilities with the installation of a new seven-color, 57˝ KBA Rapida 145 double-coater UV press with a host of unique automated KBA technology.

The new 57˝ KBA Rapida 145 press will be equipped with the latest technology including new, automation such as the award-winning KBA SIS Sensoric sidelay-free infeed, the CleanTronic UV system with a pivoting washing beam for washing of blankets and impression cylinders sequenced with automatic plate changing, and additional parallel makeready processes that contribute to significantly higher net production output. The press is also equipped with the KBA QualiTronic ColorControl inline color measurement and control camera system that monitors and maintains color consistency by taking a snapshot of every printed sheet thus guaranteeing optimum color fidelity. The new press combines KBA's density-based inline QualiTronic Color Control capability with a full-scale version of System Brunner’s Instrument Flight inking unit control software, which prioritizes grey balance values. This creates a closed-loop system for measuring and controlling color during impression, assessing the visual appearance of every printed sheet to help ensure uniform production from one day to the next.
