More Flexible Than Ever Before
For many years already, the name Rapida 105 has stood for absolute reliability and an attractive price-performance ratio in medium-format sheetfed offset. The market success of the press is founded on its high substrate flexibility, practice-oriented ease of handling and a robust design. Together, these factors contribute to excellent print quality on the most varied materials.
Being based on a common platform, the Rapida 105 shares numerous design solutions with its sister presses for the B1 format. That means cutting-edge technology which is lacking in many other sheetfed offset presses: Inking units which can be disengaged when not in use, user-oriented washing systems or ultramodern console features — many details make work easier for the printer.
