A new series of KBA inkjet web presses offer upgradeable web widths from 895-1300 mm.

The new press systems were part of a US launch during GraphExpo as the German maker positions itself further into the commercial digital segment.

Five L Series presses are nominated RotaJET 89 (web width 895 mm), 100, 112, 123 and 130, and KBA says it will be possible to upgrade the 89 to a wider width, and also upgrade a single-colour system into a four-colour one.

However, the existing RotaJET 76, which has a printing width of 781 mm, cannot be extended.

The press maker has also announced a collaboration with HP to develop inkjet solutions for corrugated packaging.

The RotaJET L series is modular, and aimed at markets including book, direct mail, magazine, newspaper, packaging and industrial printing.
