Editor’s Note

Eskandar Jahanbani Editor in Chief

Not surprisingly this issue of ME Printer focuses on drupa, which will open its doors to print enthusiasts in less than one month. The renewed excitement among people involved in the world of ink and paper has put to rest the doubts surrounding drupa 2012. This drupa will be as significant as other drupas, although I must admit that the continuing sluggish recovery of the world economy, the new realities within the world of communication and the shift in people’s habit had a major effect on organizer’s perception of drupa. Nevertheless over 1,850 exhibitors from more than 50 countries will fill around 166,000 square metres of exhibition space. As usual drupa will be the most international printing event in the world. Some 68 % of exhibitors, precisely 1,189 companies, are currently from outside of Germany. On the other hand the geographical distribution of exhibitors also reflects the new economic realities and the emerging new global players. With 11,000 square metres, participation from China has grown significantly. According to Werner Matthias Dornscheidt CEO & President of Messe Düsseldorf GmbH, while traditional markets are largely saturated, print is undergoing a dynamic development in developing countries. In Asia, the market volume has increased from 133 billion euros to 168 billion euros. These figures show that Asian economies have a major clout now. Their participation is vital for the success of any trade show around the globe. This year digital printing occupies a prominent place in drupa. A study from the Pira research institute predicts that by 2015, with around 125 billion euros in revenue, approximately 30 percent of worldwide print products will be digitally manufactured. Middle East also plays an ever important role for drupa. As drupa’s exclusive media partner in the region this time we have published our second drupa travellers’ guide for Middle East visitors to the show. Our subscribers will be receiving the guide along with the magazine. With this issue of the magazine plus the travellers’ guide you can be sure that your trip to drupa has already started.

According to Pira by 2015 approximately 30 percent of worldwide print products will be digitally manufactured

Egypt: Presidential Election Stirs up Printing and Advertising Market Heavy deployment of banners and posters draw cynical comments

As the first presidential election in Egypt, after the January 25 revolution, is set to take place, the country is witnessing a great deal of promotional and ad-

vertising campaigns. Banners, posters and a lot of printed material adorn the walls and poles in various streets and provinces. With the increase in demand for print advertising, which according to observers have exceeded millions of dollars, the pace of work in printing presses have gone up. The pricy election campaigns have led to the creation of many jokes and amusing comments, which marks the humour sense of the Egyptians even in the most difficult of situations. These recent activities have unleashed a barrage of comments and light hearted jokes like some saying that the streets in Egypt have vanished because of the lengthy drapes of posters, which candidates have

put along wherever they find a place to. ME Printer spotted the most common jokes and satires, which included making fun of the propaganda of candidates by doctoring their images along with famous politicians and sports stars. Some even joke that the number of posters printed by the presidential candidates in a month count more than that printed by the ousted President Mubarak in thirty years. Some pointed out that the big task for the next President would be in ordering to remove the printed materials out of the streets of Egypt. Some scoffed off by saying that the fracture seen at the nose of the Sphinx can be fixed by putting around the banners and posters printed.

Egypt: Design Competition Awards Distributed

ME Printer April 2012

Youssef Allam will send 8 winners to visit drupa this time

Awards were given to the winners of the Youssef Allam Design Competition that was held in 2011. The award, which targets students of Print Media section aims to develop the skills of the students by introducing them to actual market demands. The competition required participants to create a brand name for the new paper brand from Youssef Allam, a new logo, a new package and prepare a re-

lated magazine advertisement. The award ceremony was held at Print Media Academy in Cairo and was attended by university professors, students, the CEO and General Manger from Youssef Allam group along with a number of employees. The ceremony started with a live demonstration on Heidelberg offset printing machines, followed by a video that shared the best submissions and the opinion of the judging committee. Nadine Gueissa, Marketing Director at Youssef Allam group granted certificates to the participants. Engineer Alaa ElDeen Abdel Moneim, Vice President of Youssef Allam group presented the 2nd and 3rd prizes. Eng. Adel Allam, CEO of Youssef Allam group presented the 1st prize. He announced, as there was close competition between the 2nd and 1st prize winners, the group decided to take the

2nd prize winners also to drupa this time. The judging panel consisted of nine experts in the fields of advertising, communication, marketing and merchandizing. Judges Comment Dr. Osman Young, Scottish artist and a teacher at the American University in Cairo opined, “At school, students study about designing theoretically, but through this competition Youssef Allam asked for a professional design for their logo and their packages. If it works, the company will take it and the students might even see their design in the shops and say “That’s my design”. This is actually very powerful!” Youssef Allam Design Competition is part of the Youssef Allam Educational campaign, which is designed as part of the company’s Corporate Social Responsibility program.

He continued, “I am not exaggerating, but the volume of investment and work in Qatar is growing. We have to work continuously to meet our customer demands. We have 120 employees, who work round the clock in order to keep up with the growing demands. This is the result of the current economic activity that Qatar is witnessing.” Talking about the printing markets in Dubai and Qatar, Ayman believes the two markets cannot be compared. “The progress experienced by Dubai is the result of the hard work put in by the printers and employees in the industry. Qatar is still at the beginning of the road and has a long way to travel. The printing quality in Dubai is much higher compared to Qatar because of the experience, professionalism and potential that characterizes the printing presses in Dubai. We still need time to absorb new technologies and need to practice it by putting it to use in different printing areas,” concludes Ayman

The deal is expected to increase productivity and shorten the print production time. Ayman Al Shimi, Managing Partner of Quick Print, in an exclusive interview with ME Printer said that the contract was designed to upgrade their facility with the latest technology available in the pre press field, which would in turn help them to raise quality, production efficiency, shorten run times and also reduce cost of printing.

We care more about quality and high technology regardless of the cost.” Ayman praised the strong relationship that Heidelberg Middle East maintains with its customers and their efforts in providing after sale services to their clients for the last 15 years.

ME Printer June 2009

Al Mansoorah Printing Company based in Sharjah have added on to their production capability by investing in a Heidelberg Speedmaster CD 102 six colour press with coating unit and UV printing option. The company signed the deal with Heidelberg Middle East last September, in order to meet the rising demands from the market. Talking to ME Printer about the deal, Anwar Kazani, Managing Director of Al Mansoorah Printing Co. said, “We decided to go for the Heidelberg Speedmaster CD 102 to enable us to handle the increased workload and to meet up with our customer demands.” The CD 102- 6LX/UV machine has a capacity to produce up to 15,000 sheets per hour and features a Preset Plus Feeder for maximum substrate flexibility. The UV configuration enables the press to do special applications and it can print on various thicknesses ranging from 0.03 to 1 millimeter. A tailor made machine, the CD 102 can be configured according to the printer’s specifications. Explaining their reason to buy a Heidelberg Press for their operations, Anwar Kazani said, “Our printing press is already

equipped with three Heidelberg Presses including a five colour Speedmaster, two colour Sormz and a single colour GTO 52 machine. We are very much satisfied with the after sale service provided by Heidelberg Middle East and their customer service is available round the clock. Apart from that, they always make sure that spare parts are readily available and they help us with their engineering service during any kind of operational difficulties.” Anwar feels that the printing industry has passed over the recession phase and is now on a growth path. “We feel the industry growing because there are a lot of SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) coming up in UAE and its neighbouring countries. Not only that the existing industries are also feeling the rush and they too are expanding. So, I think that the printing industry will graze on greener pastures in the coming years.” The expansion plans of Al Mansoorah Printing press justifies the growing prospects of the printing industry. Detailing the expansion plans, Anwar said, “As part of our expansion program, we have acquired another 80,000 sq ft of land in Sharjah

Industrial City, near to Sharjah Airport. The construction work on the site has already begun and we are confident that we could meet the increasing printing demands through this facility.” Al Mansoorah Printing Company is a member of the Sharjah Chamber of Commerce & Industry and is an AGCC chamber. A family owned business, the press caters to the printing needs of leading industries like Paper Converting, Cigarette and Tobacco Industries, Godiva Chocolates, Ice Cream Manufacturing, Detergent and Antiseptic, Nail Products and Perfume Industry. Anwar explained, “The Company is geared to meet customer’s needs. Manufacturing facilities are strictly controlled and conform to quality standards to meet and satisfy customer’s demands. Our printing and packaging jobs include calendars, brochures, flyers, magazines, posters, leaflets, boxes for detergents, food items, aluminium foils, cling films etc. We also specialize in doing UV varnishing, window patching, lamination, hot stamping, foil and embossing and hard and soft binding.” M

Encyclopaedia Britannica Ends Print Edition 85% of its revenue today accounts from online sales

Encyclopaedia Britannica is putting an end to its voluminous print edition, as they have decided to go digital, to face the

rising competition from portals like Wikipedia. Britannica had recently launched a digital version of its encyclopaedia for tablet PCs. 85% of its revenue today comes from online sales. This decision has put an end to the 244 year old printing history. The publishing of the reference work started in 1768 in Edinburgh, Scotland. Today it has grown to 32 volumes costing $ 1,400 (Dh 5,141) for a complete set. “The sales of printed encyclopaedias have been negligible for several years,” said Jorge Cauz, President of Encyclopaedia Britannica. “We knew this was coming,” he added. Britannica said while its decision to focus on online editions was influenced by the shift in

consumer pattern, the ability to update content at a short notice also played a big role. “A printed encyclopaedia is obsolete the minute you print it, whereas, our online edition is updated continuously,” said Cauz. At the same time, frequent users of the encyclopaedia said they preferred using the online version more than the print one. The online subscription of the reference work will cost $70 per year and the company has developed a set of payable apps for mobile devices. These will cost up to $4.00 monthly. During 1990 the sale of Encyclopaedia Britannica recorded 120,000 sets, and in 1996 they sold 40,000 sets, while in 2012 the sales came down to around 4000 sets.

UAE: Bin Mansour Moving Ahead With Time

Bin Mansour Printing Press based in Abu Dhabi is one of the largest printing houses in the country that keeps abreast with the latest developments in the industry. The printing press is accredited with an ISO 9001:2000 certification. Refat Abu Arja, Press Manager says the press deals with various customers including Federal and local government bodies. He added that the printing press always updates itself with the latest available techniques in the market and had recently installed a Heidelberg Suprasetter 105 CtP ma-

chine. Abu Arja observed that the recent contract helped them shorten the pre press operations and reduce the cost of production by up to 50%. He added that the machine has increased the level of printing accuracy and provides high level of flexibility. Abu Arja commented that though recession had put a toll on the printing market in general, Bin Mansour press was not affected as it primarily served customers from the government sector. He pointed out that the steep increase in the price of consumables and the

Iraq: Printing Presses Raise Alarm Lack of qualified staff and resources deepens the suffering of Iraqi presses

ME Printer April 2012

High cost of printing has led many customers to print in neighbouring countries

The printing sector in Iraq is considered to be one of the most prestigious and oldest sectors in the country. Some printing presses, like the Dar Al-Hurriya, which is one of the oldest printing houses in the country, boasted of the latest technologies and equipments in printing. However, today the case is different. Iraq has exhausted its economy by falling prey to wars and conflicts and thereby causing the economy to fall. This downfall has led the printing sector to fall apart, where today printing equipments are looted and employees face hardship in finding a sustainable way to live. Though this is the case, printing industry is the only sector that has been left with a little life, while the rest of the industrial sectors are now paralyzed by the economic downfall. Rising energy prices and the high cost of labour are threatening issues faced by printing presses. Haider al-Rubaie, Director of AlRubaie, a major Iraqi company specializing in office equipment, in an interview with ME Printer talked about the status of the printing presses in Iraq and the tragic living conditions of its employees. He said that the printing industry in Iraq is facing many difficulties and challenges like the shortage of qualified personnel’s to manage printing operations, high price of modern equipments etc. Talking about the major problems faced by the printing industry, he said the operational costs have increased as a result of the rise in electricity prices, labour and consumables. He said that this led majority of the institutions and government agencies to turn their back on the printing presses in Iraq. Due to high cost of printing, many customers prefer to print in neighbouring countries, he added. Haider pointed out that the budget allocated for printing government publications, which comes to around half a billion US dollars every year,

goes to the printing presses in neighbouring countries. “If you would have asked me to print this magazine in Iraq, I could not ensure you the quality, and on top of that you would also have to shell extra bucks for printing this in Iraq. If this magazine costs a dollar per copy when printed in your country, in Iraq it will cost you about US$4 and you won’t get the required quality!” Talking about the performance of the printing presses in Iraq, he explained that there are about 500 printing presses in the country, and indicated that the majority of the print houses use Heidelberg, while some others have Roland. He said the easy availability of Heidelberg machines and its spare parts have made it a hit in the country. Detailing about the latest printing projects in the region, Haider said that the Council of Ministers in the Iraqi government is planning to start a non-profit printing press aimed to serve the families of the martyrs and those injured during the war in Iraq. He said that Al-Rubaie have submitted their offers to the government to implement this project. “We have offered a project at an estimated amount of 13.5 billion Iraqi dinars (about US$ 10 million) to construct a printing press in 2,500 square meters. The press would be equipped with five printing machines like the Heidelberg five- colour 100x50, GTO 52 four colour, one colour GTO 52, a printer, a digital model of

Konica Minolta etc.” He pointed out that Al-Rubaie have all the necessary means to implement the project, based on their extended experience in the processing of printing presses. He added that the company had implemented many projects like building the printing plant for production of school books in Basra, the newspaper press for the parliament and many other private presses in Iraq. Commenting about the future of the printing market in Iraq, he confirmed that the economic situation is gradually changing. He added that the government has deployed large budgets to develop the infrastructure of the industries and thereby reconstruct the country economically and commercially. “Iraq has a potential market for printing because the Iraqi people love to read. The market is in dire need of some support from the government and printing companies need to develop their potential and rehabilitate their employees to regain its lost glory.” He continued, “Improvement of the economic situation depends on what the government offers and how the printing companies will utilize it. Otherwise the situation will continue to be the same; the support of printing press owners is much needed. If there is no support, ultimately printing presses would have to be shut down and the dependants would have to look for other sources of income.”

KSA: Arno Advertising Cashes In on CtP Service The company installs a BasysPrint UV setter

ME Printer April 2012

It can run 5 cross applications and thereby gives 5 revenue streams Byju Antony

Ali AlHashemi Trading Establishment has widely expanded their operations in the Middle East region by entering into a series of agreements with Xeikon, Basysprint/Punch Graphix, which is a brand of Xeikon International BV and Omet Flexo. As per the deals, Ali AlHashemi will be the authorized distributor of BasysPrint UV CtP’s in Oman, UAE, Bahrain, Qatar and Saudi Arabia, and they will be distributing the industrial digital printing press portfolio of Xeikon in the GCC. They will also be the dealers of Omet Flexo web press in UAE, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait and KSA. The company bagged a couple of deals during their participation at the Saudi Print Pack Signage & Graphics exhibition that was held in Riyadh, KSA last December. They sold two BasysPrint machines, an MGI Digital press and other print finishing equipments during the event. ARNO Advertising in Riyadh, KSA was one of the customers who had bought a Basysprint UV setter 851 XB from Ali AlHashemi. At the recent installation of the machine, ME Printer talked with Byju Antony, Managing Partner of Arno Advertising & Pre Press Services, to know more about the deal and their interest in the CtP market. As a CtP service provider, Arno Advertising provides 24 hour service to their clients. Talking about the niche market that they have found in the plate setter business, Byju said, “Arno Advertising has been in the business for the last 20 years and have been providing computer to film and plate services to its clients. We decided to invest in the basysprint UV setter, because we found a market in the region for CtP services.” What differentiates baysyPrint UV setters from others is that it uses UV-sensitive plates and it’s

not necessary to maintain any particular CtP plates for this purpose. The Digital Screen Imaging Concept employed in the basysprint UV setter enables violet laser diodes to process more than 50 different brands of UV-sensitive printing plates from 15 different manufacturers. Emphasising this concept Byju added, “By providing this service, printers are not forced to invest large amount of money in CtP devices because we provide the same service at a nominal amount. Customers send their files to us and we process and deliver the ready to print plates for them.” Detailing the benefits of the plate setter he said, “It can run 5 cross applications and thereby gives 5 revenue streams. It can expose offset plates, can make coated plates for varnish printing, produce magnesium or copper plates for hot foil stamping or embossing, screens for silk screen printing and also prepare dies for flexible die-cutting.”

Byju opined that the UV setter is cost effective as the material cost is much lower compared to other plate setters, i.e., around 20% less . “Its maintenance free and can be operated continuously.” Talking more on the deal, he said that they had visited the stand of Ali Al Hashemi during the Saudi Print & Pack exhibition and had decided to go for the deal on that visit. “Today in Saudi apart from Arno there is only one CtP service provider, who is providing this kind of service. So far we have received very good response from our customers and there is a genuine interest for this service in the region.” Byju added that currently they pocket about 40% profit from the CtP service and they provide a variety of services to around 400 printing presses in the region. Apart from the Basysprint UV setter, Arno has 3 Heidelberg machines and a Screen CtP at their facility.

UAE: Fifteen Schools Join HP Planet Partners Recycling Program

HP as part of its Planet Partner recycling program will embark on a tour in 15 participating schools in the UAE to present the new HP Planet Partners Education Program. The program seeks to encourage students to place greater emphasis on the

environment as a curriculum topic. According to the program, students who are in possession of the original HP toner cartridge at their homes will be asked to drop them at the HP recycling bins in their schools. By doing so they become part of the HP contest, ‘how best to motivate UAE to recycle’. The winning students will receive an HP notebook and the school will receive an HP printer. During the duration of the campaign, parents will be similarly encouraged to sign up their workplace for the HP Planet Partners program. Participation to the contest is free of charge. Commenting on the program, Ernest Azzam, Laser and Enterprise Solutions Business Manager, HP Middle East stated,

“UAE has made great strides in promoting environmental awareness, and the HP Planet Partner’s program aims to further that commitment to create a more eco-friendly Middle East. We believe that there is no better place to start than with our own students, who are the leaders of tomorrow.” HP’s environmental program has so far seen more than 389 million HP print cartridges recycled worldwide (and two billion pounds of IT equipment) since its inception in 1991. It also offers free return and recycling services for original HP printing supplies. The program that was introduced in the UAE in 2009 is held in partnership with the UAE Ministry of Education, Ras Al-Khaimah E-Government and Dubai Internet City.

Egypt: Allam Pictures The Post- Revolution Printing Scenario Adel Allam, Chairman of Youssef Allam talks about the future of printing market and its challenges

ME Printer April 2012

Engineer Adel Allam, CEO of Youssef Allam Group talking to ME Printer

A year after the 25th of January revolution in Egypt, there are still many questions that are left unanswered. One such question would be about the Egyptian printing industry, which was greatly affected by the revolution. The printing industry in Egypt consists of more than 5,000 print shops and more than 100,000 workers with a value of US$2 billion. In light of the economic disparities in the country and the unstable condition, ME Printer met with Engineer Adel Allam, CEO of Youssef Allam Group. Youssef Allam is one of the largest suppliers of graphic arts equipment and supplies in Egypt and Africa. It is the exclusive distributor of Heidelberg in Egypt, Libya, and Sudan. Its wealth of experience in the printing industry spans over more than 50 years. Eng. Adel Allam pointed out that during the revolution the printing industry was affected similar to other economic sectors. He said that the economic downfall forced many companies to cut their budget on areas like advertising and tourism, which in return affected the printing market. He added, “The effect was directly felt by the printing industry,

especially the commercial sector. Due to the decline of the advertising revenues, sales of printing machines were also affected. During this period, we could sell only a limited number of machines.” He noted that the only sector that was not affected by the pangs of the revolution was the packaging sector as it is serves food and pharmaceutical sectors which are critical industries. With regards to their ability to cope with such an unstable situation, Allam said that he regarded the revolution as a turning point, which helped him to review the company’s performance and development so far. He added that the company had taken many bold and unprecedented decisions during the past 12 months, which include increasing the salaries of its staff. “The revolution broke out in the month of January. Usually, January and March are the months of salary increases, but most companies were forced to make salary cuts due to the recession. On the contrary, we increased the salaries and hired many new calibres during this period. Our philosophy was to use this time to re-organize ourselves and employ marketing and human resource experts to improve the performance of the company, and invest in IT systems which helps serve our customers better. In the past, we did not find the time to assess our performance, so the revolution had in a way opened the path for self- reflection and focus on multiple aspects of our business.” Talking about the performance of the printing market postrevolution, Allam expressed optimism on the gradual improvement seen in the market. “After a year of revolution, we are still surviving, and operating in the green zone rather than

the red one. 60% of the activities in the press were affected during the revolution. But we could climb back by 20%, which is a positive indicator of the market performance and the current situation.” He stressed that there are a lot of challenges faced by printers today, like limited liquidity of funds, competition, etc. He expects that this situation will continue for two to three years, while indicating that the situation may improve further after a democratic system is established in the country and a new president elected. In his comment about the manroland insolvency and its impact on the printing market in Egypt, Allam said that there was no particular impact felt in the printing sector after the insolvency news. “We do not have any competition with manroland in Egypt, Libya or Sudan. The services which we provide to our customers are incomparable. The difference between us and our nearest competitor is still far out. This is because we provide the highest available service to our customers in terms of maintenance, support, training, engineering services, etc., which are simply not offered by our competitors.” Talking about the future of the printing industry in Egypt, Allam said that there is no need to worry about the current situation, as Egypt has witnessed such transitional phases before and had overcome it successfully. He said that it is still too early to judge an outcome of the situation, though he thinks that the change of rule will bring a relief to the current situations in the country. He also pointed out towards the enormous potential of the Egyptian market, its strategic locations and energies, which distinguishes it from other markets in the region.

UAE: Second Edition of Paperworld ME Concludes Attracts more companies and visitors this time

ME Printer April 2012

The company’s focus is now towards downstream products, like the food grade paper Suneet Sood

The second edition of Paperworld Middle East was held at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre from March 6th to 8th 2012. The event, which was inaugurated by Abdul Rehman Saif Al Ghurair, Chairman of Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry emphasised key topics like sustainability and how to meet the demand from emerging markets. “Even though it’s only the second year of doing business, Paperworld Middle East has managed to elicit favourable responses from the industry,” said Ahmed Pauwels, Chief Executive Officer of Epoc Messe Frankfurt. “The event was launched to fill a perceived need in the market and its growth in a short period of time underscores the enormous potential that exists in the region,” he added. Paperworld Middle East, representing the world of office and stationery, features a wide range of international paper products and office supplies from around the world. This year a large number of exhibitors showcased sustainably produced products, as there is a growing green consciousness among the customers. Ten dedicated country pavilions were part of this year’s exhibition, which included countries like Germany, Singapore, Tunisia, Egypt, Sri Lanka, Italy, India, Malaysia, Taiwan and China.

GROWING TRENDS

Suneet Sood, General Manager

APP (Asia Pulp & Paper) Dubai, observed that Paperworld Middle East has given satisfactory results to them. “If you take into context the size of the market and the number of participants, we can say that the show was satisfactory. We had many customers and visitors from all over the Middle East including Kuwait, Iran, KSA and Yemen.” Suneet said that the company has grown from producing commodity products to downstream grades and finished products. “We have been producing products like uncoated wood free, coated, packaging, boards etc. But now the company’s focus is towards downstream products, like for example the food grade papers. We have introduced a range of food grade products, like the greasy paper for packing a burger or a shawarma. We also have a new machine to produce MG paper. MG paper is machine glaze paper. By October we will introduce another packaging grade paper, and will be introducing an extended range of stationery products.” Talking about the market reaction on food grade papers, he said, “First, we have to see whether there is awareness for the food grade product in the market. In Middle East you can find that food items like Pizza or shawarma are packed in banned paper items or sometimes even in recycled paper products. Companies here need to upgrade themselves by switching on to food grade papers, which are healthier to the end user.” He said that the political unrest in Middle East region has affected them to a large extent, and said that, “Paper consumption in certain grades is coming down, like in newsprint and magazine grades.” Talking to ME Printer, Anil Kumar Sharma, Head of Product Entrepreneur Department of APP observed that, “In 2003, the paper consumption was around 350 million tonne globally. Around 54 per cent was fine

grade papers including news print, while 44 per cent was packaging grade. Today packaging has gone up but the growth is lacking in fine paper category.” Talking about the growth of the company he said, “APP is growing and now we are expanding mainly into the packaging and tissue business. I think Paper World Middle East is more happening this time. There have been more visitors and we are providing all range of paper products other than newsprint. Other thing is that we always introduce innovative products. So, whenever customers meet us, there is always something new to offer.” Explaining about the new products that they would launch this year, he said, “We are going to launch mainly food grade products this year. The new launches would be under the brand foopak. We have already introduced a product under this brand in this exhibition. At drupa we would be launching other two. These would be food grade barrier coated products and laminated products like cup stock.” Discussing the growing potential in the Middle East region, he said, “There is growth, especially in the publishing side. We are already into digital printing and I personally feel that it is growing at a rate of about 14 to 15 per cent every year. Digital printing is certainly growing, the printability has improved and paper suppliers have understood the paper requirements on digital presses.” V. Sreekumar, Regional Director of April Fine Paper, said: “We are the largest producer of pulp in Asia and No. 2 in the world. Our flagship brand is Paper One, which is based in Indonesia. This year we plan to meet new clients from Africa for expansion. Our products are mainly made from plantation fibre. The market is growing and we are also growing along with it.” Yvonne Bleul, Sales supervisor

at Paper+Design observed, “We see this as an important and growing region, especially for our type of products. With so many weddings in UAE, there is a huge demand for our products. Last year we made some contacts and have participated again to enhance this. We also participate regularly at Paperworld Frankfurt.”

EGYPT

The Egypt pavilion was represented by many paper and stationery companies this time. ME Printer spoke with Mohammed Ibrahim Abdullah, General Manager of Yaseen production office. He explained that they are participating for the second time in the show. “This exhibition is important for us because there is a good participation of visitors from the neighbouring Arab countries, like Middle East and Africa. This is a good opportunity for us to communicate with our customers and to identify new ones.” Mohammed indicated that the company had cancelled

its participation in Paperworld Frankfurt, Germany and had rather decided to participate in Paperworld Middle East. He said that the Dubai show was more effective compared to the Frankfurt one. “The Dubai version of the Paperworld attracts more visitors from the Middle East, which is our strongpoint.” Mohammed said that they had received visitors from UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kenya and other Arab countries during Paperworld.

TUNISIA

In the Tunisian pavilion, ME Printer talked with the company Oovist Plast, which specializes in the production of school supplies and stationery. The company exports 70% of its products to France, Morocco and its neighbouring countries. They were participating for the first time in the exhibition. Speaking about the exhibition, one of the exhibitors in the Tunisian pavilion said that this year the show was good. “The show gave us a good opportunity to communicate with new visi-

tors.” He said that they received visitors from countries like Libya, Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Kuwait, France etc. Talking about the situation in Tunisia he said that the market in the country is in a state of flux due to the instable conditions and indicated that only through increasing the export activities and foreign trade, the situation in Tunisia can be improved. He also noted that the European crisis was one of the reasons that prompted the company to strengthen its presence in other markets like the Gulf and Middle East.

Welcoming the attendees, he lauded the efforts of KBA in maintaining a successful relationship with Giffin Graphics and emphasized that, “KBA is the only printing solutions provider that is not exposed to any problems or financial constraints.” He added that representatives from the company will be present at the exhibition, and will communicate with customers and help them review the most prominent solutions and modern technologies in printing. Dietmar Heyduck, Vice President Sales of KBA, who was present at the event, thanked Giffin Graphics for organizing the seminar and for giving KBA an opportunity to communicate with their custom-

ers in the region. Dietmar also reviewed the past performances of KBA in the Middle East. He said that the company’s sales grew in the Middle East from 12% in 2009 to 20.6% during 2010. He considered this as an indicator of the company’s strong performance in the region. Dietmar explained that the newsprint sector was the most affected during the financial crisis, while the offset and sheetfed sector witnessed growth due to the increase in packaging revenues. He added that packaging sector has become vital for the company’s growth. Commenting about the participation of KBA in drupa, Dietmar explained that KBA would participate this year under the slogan ‘Sprinting Ahead’ in the same place and hall, and will be of the same size as in drupa 2008. Talking about the range of products that will be shown at drupa, Dietmar said, “KBA will be presenting its package of advanced printing equipments during the exhibition.”

DIGITAL KBA:

KBA will display its high-volume web fed inkjet press for short runs and personalized print (KBA RotaJET 76) as well as digital presses for printing books, commercials and magazines.

SHEETFED OFFSET PRESSES

Large format: New Rapidas in 6B and 7B formats Medium format: New Rapida 105 based

Commercial: 16-page C16 printing unit with automatic plate changing Newspaper: New compact Commander CL printing unit with automatic plate changing Packaging: Variableformat offset press from KBAMePrint Apart from these KBA will be displaying improved and new solutions in workflow, technology, print consultancy, green printing, consumables etc. Michael Grieger, Senior Sales Manager of KBA later talked on the topic ‘KBA Sheetfed Offset – Innovations for profitable commercial and packaging printing.’ Michael said that KBA will have a strong presence in drupa, and will highlight the latest technologies in printing machines. He also pointed out that the company is moving towards digital products and has a package of new products that will combine traditional printing techniques with digital technology. He mentioned that the company has much hopes on drupa, which will in turn determine the functioning of the printing industry in the coming years. Talking about the company’s activities during the exhibition, Michael said that KBA will be holding seminars and live demonstration of products, which will include live production on the new Rapida 106 sheetfed offset machine. Michael explained, “The Rapida 106 combines digital printing techniques to technical offset machine. A fully automatic con-

cept, it enables automatic and simultaneous plate changing. The press can perform about six different make ready processes simultaneously, slashing 40 or even 60 per cent off the time taken for job changeovers. The machine has multiple finishing options like providing gloss and matt effects, all-over and spot finishes, single and multiple coating applications with dispersion and/or UV varnishes etc. It also has a production speed of up to 18,000 sheets per hour.” The seminar ended with a question and answer session, where the attendees got an opportunity to interact with representatives of both the companies. In response to a question raised by ME Printer (about the survival instincts of the company), officials from KBA said that they are capable to withstand the current challenges of the printing industry and is not exposed to any financial crisis as suffered by other competitor companies. Dietmar said, “KBA has a stable financial structure, which enables it to perform its work strongly. The main reason for the company’s stability is the support provided by its

KBA GOES DIGITAL

In a press conference held at its sheetfed offset facility in Germany, KBA revealed the details of the new web fed inkjet press. The company said that the new RotaJET 76 provides a maximum web speed of 150mpm and web widths of up to 780mm (i.e. around 3,000 A4 pages or 85 million pages per month). The

KBA RotaJET prints with waterbased pigment inks and are designed for heavy-duty use. There will be 56 inkjet heads each on two arrays forming an arch over large central impression cylinders on both sides of the web. The machine will have a print resolution of 600 dpi and will deliver full-colour variable production, without any time lapses.

suppliers as well as the diverse product range provided by the company. Our success in emerging markets, the keenness of KBA to enter into new areas in

the printing industry, development of new technologies etc., have helped us to reach in a good position today when compared to our competitors.”

UAE: WAN-IFRA Conference Highlights Role of Media in National Development taken on the role of a more professional and modern media. Technology has charted new pathways but the real challenge for news publishers is to reach a paperless audience. Cutting cost and time to reach a wider readership through the digital platform is the way forward.” Princess Rym Ali of Jordan after inaugurating the conference commented that, “The role of media has today become pivotal in the development of a nation. New media is a positive addition to a news organization and it has the ability to enhance the work of journalists.” The conference was developed around five major themes namely: social media, leader-

ship and human resource management, innovations in newsrooms, advertising revenue generation and the power of print. KBA was one of the gold sponsors to the event. Top representatives from the company were present during the two day event, who interacted with the audience about the major challenges and the future of the media industry. As part of the conference, WAN-IFRA and the Cairo based Danish-Egyptian Dialogue Institute (DEDI) launched ‘Arab Newspaper Development Programme’, which intends to provide workshops, training and consulting for 10 selected media outlets in Egypt, Middle East and North Africa.

In an Interview with ME Printer, Jochen Schwab, Vice President Sales of KBA discusses about the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future plans and the product range to be shown at drupa

Printing industry is currently riding on a topsy-turvy ride. Stories of acquisition, insolvency and bankruptcy make headline these days. With anticipation and uncertainty ruling the market, printers are holding much hope on drupa, which is set to unfurl in a couple of months. ME Printer met up with representatives

of KBA at the recently held WAN-IFRA Middle East conference to know their opinion about the industry and their anticipations for the future. Jochen Schwab, Vice President Sales of KBA and Kalus Weber, Sales Manager of the company in a candid chat with the magazine revealed their plans for drupa and how the print industry

giant plans to widen its market space in the industry. Read further to know their activities in the region and their plans for Drupa. KBA is one of the gold sponsors for the WAN-IFRA Middle East conference, what do you target out of this show?

I think that Drupa will open up the digital platform for us

KBA is actually a member of WAN-IFRA. The WAN-IFRA association was formed to address the challenges in the newspaper industry, and today KBA has one of the biggest and traditional newspaper divisions in the world. This is one of the major reasons for us to participate and sponsor the event. We come here to listen to our customers and to see the development in the industry. We also targeted this event as a platform to promote our products and solutions for the industry. WAN-IFRA conference always provides a good opportunity for these.

better quality on glossy paper, higher ink volume and also to avoid rub off ink from the paper. Printed newspapers are in a dire situation. Of course they will not be vanished from the world but very soon they might be irrelevant, what gives KBA motive to continue with its R&D for web presses? Printed products are still a leading advertising medium. Today though electronic media is growing and advertising revenue is partly moving from printed products to electronic media or to digital products, newspapers still have a good position in the media market. People trust news and reports in newspapers more than the news on electronic media. We have seen that most media companies generate very good revenues on their printed products. In most cases the printed product is financing the invest-

ment into the electronic media. Despite the economic crisis, we were still able to invest into R&D and increase our cash flow. This cash flow allows us to invest around 5 per cent of our annual turnover in to R&D. This does not only apply to newspaper and commercial printing but also to sheetfed offset, digital printing and other fields. In the upcoming Drupa, we will showcase under the banner â&#x20AC;&#x153;sprinting aheadâ&#x20AC;? an innovation firework. There are still plenty of opportunities for print in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s multi-media environment, and KBA, as a press innovator, will actively shape the future of print. I think that Drupa will open up the digital platform for us. So, what all will be KBA showing during this Drupa? The KBA stand will have digital displays on several sides. We will show our first high-volume

ME Printer April 2012

How important is the Middle East market for KBA? What are the trends in newspaper production? Middle East is a very important market for us. Our business in the region has been quite successful. Even during the Arab Spring we made frequent visits to the region and had the opportunity to make intensive discussions with our customers and dealers. The area is always full of activity. KBA today has a strong market position and is the secondbiggest press manufacturer all over the world. It stands No. 1 in newspaper presses; in large-format sheetfed offset presses, in packaging, security and metal-decorating presses. It stands No. 2 in sheetfed offset and No. 3 in commercial web offset. Packaging and some other niche markets are growing businesses for us. The commercial web business, sheetfed division and the newspaper presses were quite sensitive during the crisis, as there was a considerable reduction in the number of pages and in the circulations of newspapers. As far as recent trends, today we see a rise in the number of copies and the demand for heatset printing technology in the market. We also feel that modern newspaper production requires new solutions for better quality, for cost savings and for more efficiency in production. Here in the Middle East, most of the local newspaper printers use heatset technology to provide

A further modern Continent press is printing in Doha, Qatar. We will also install a double-wide newspaper press with hot air dryer in Amman, Jordan

web-fed inkjet press, the RotaJET 76. It is completely built in our factory in Wurzburg, Germany, and is developed and designed by KBA in cooperation with RR Donnelley, our partner in this area. We will also organise live demos at our stand during Drupa. We will show a 30 inch (781mm) web press with variable cutoffs for printing full-colour books, brochures, commercials and magazines. It will be a very interesting, high quality, high performance press. We will also demonstrate inkjet technology as a hybrid solution. This technology will be first of its kind from KBA at Drupa. We have combined hybrid offset and digital printing on a KBA Rapida 105 B1 press with integrated inkjet system. A new sheet-guiding system allows inkjet systems to be installed at a distance of just 1mm (0.04in)) from the sheet. The applications range from sheet marking for quality monitoring to coding for brand protection (bar, QR and/or numerical codes). Available only from KBA, this new sheet-guiding system offers huge potential for creating some interesting new applications for quality

monitoring and inline finishing. So one of our main messages at Drupa will be, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Digital and conventional offset go together to generate new possibilities and new products.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Apart from these there are several other innovations coming from our subsidiaries in the KBA group, like KBA-MePrint and KBA Metronic. They will show latest developments in waterless UV printing and coding/marking. A highlight will be an interesting new development for the growing flexible packaging market. We will also show the new Varius 80, a modular, variable-format web offset press from KBA-MePrint. It implements the same waterless technology as the Genius, with short-train inking units and UV drying. How far is the specialty printing business faring up? We produce a lot of specialty presses, for coding/marking, metal decorating and security printing. KBA has the broadest product range in the industry. Whenever our business in newspaper, commercial or sheetfed slows down, we build up the loss from our strong arms like packaging, digital printing, security

printing etc. So, the structure of our group fairly helps and gives us a solid base. All the niche areas at KBA are very stable and are growing. When newspaper business, commercial and sheetfed are not performing well, we can compensate this partly by our other business fields and technologies. A Cortina was recently installed at Gulf News. This is the first Cortina that was sold outside Europe. Do you see potential for more Cortinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in this part of the world? The press is under installation and will be commissioned soon. It is a very complex project. Besides the new printing plant there are installations of new pre press, post press equipments etc. Such huge projects take time. It will start production by this year, and I am sure that the region could learn more about the advantages, benefits and quality advantages of this new product line through this installation. Other installations in the region include a KBA Continent at United Printing & Publishing in Abu Dhabi. A further modern Continent press is printing in Doha, Qatar. We will also install

ME Printer April 2012

We will show our first high-volume web-fed inkjet press at drupa

a double-wide newspaper press with hot air dryer in Amman, Jordan. We just finished some installations in Iran; we are also very active in Saudi and also Egypt. With the new round of tough sanctions on Iran, do you still maintain commercial activities in that country? Of course we have to follow the regulations and laws. There are some limitations and financial backups caused by the sanctions. But we are still working very closely with our customers and are providing service in the region. With new businesses, it is going to be a bit slower at the moment but we are maintaining a good relationship with our customers.

shows the freedom of press, it shows that there is potential for new products in this market. Though they start on a low level, when they increase the copies, these production houses will need modern production facilities and press technology. This gives us the opportunity and chance to find new customers, new print centres for probably more newspapers to give them a possibility to grow in the market.

Why waterless technology doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really take off in newspaper sector? There are a lot of newspaper printers and even commercial printers, who are waiting for the start up of the new KBA Cortina at Gulf News in Dubai. This installation would attract more newspaper and commercial printers towards this environment friendly technology. In Europe, Cortina (which uses waterless technology) has proved to be a very convincing and competitive technology compared to web offset printing.

What are the new trends in web offset technology? At the last IFRA Expo that was held in Vienna (October last year); we had introduced a double-wide newspaper web press called KBA Commander CL. The Commander CL was developed keeping in line the changing demands of the market. It allows step-wise upgrades in the automation of web press. It also meets major demands from the market, like reducing cost, waste, increasing quality, and it also allows more flexibility and more possibility for printed products. Modern printing presses come with features like variable web-widths capability, super panoramas, stitching etc. This gives newspaper production crew the possibility to reduce cost and introduce more attractive products to the market.

KBA has been rather successful in the Middle East as far as web press is concerned. With Arab Spring in full swing, do you still see possibilities in Middle East for your range of products? Yes after Arab Spring, quite a number of projects have been put on hold (But the projects are still going on). We are discussing solutions and introducing new developments to our customers. KBA is also utilizing this opportunity, as there is a change in the political and social situation in the region. This allows new newspapers and titles to startup. Though the growth is slow, we are already in communication with these new publishing arms in these regions. Establishment of new presses

What would be the next giant step for web presses, Personalization? At any rate: more production flexibility. With our new technologies and our new presses we help our customers to be more flexible. Traditionally there have been two areas of web printing: newspapers and magazines. Nowadays these things are changing and the two products are growing faster together because the quality of the newspaper production is increasing and over the years have come closer to the magazine quality. The new technologies allow a newspaper printer to go into the magazine market. On the other hand, magazines have to be more flexible and prob-

ably have to cooperate more with newspaper printers to be inserted or to be distributed together with newspapers. It also depends on the strategy of the newspaper. We have quite a number of customers even in the Middle East, especially in Turkey, who have changed the design, structure of the newspaper, to give the newspaper a more magazine like character. We call it in Turkey as, Boutique newspaper. It shows the characteristics of a magazine, it shines out through animations, photographs, 100 per cent colour content, better print quality etc. How do the manroland insolvency and the subsequent acquisition by Possehl affect KBA? It was a sad thing, both for the employees and the customers. We have to see how the new acquisition develops; the company has to get a new structure. We have to see if they can keep up with the production program, product portfolio, services and R&D. They have also to regain confidence from the customers and have to be recognized in the market. Time will show, and even Drupa will give us an opportunity to learn how this will turn out. As far as our benefits are concerned, we have already got some orders from previous manroland customers. KBA is a financially stable and very strong company and is probably the most reliable supplier in the market. We can see a sit and wait situation with our competitors in Augsburg. So, naturally there is a good opportunity for us to get more customers than in the past. Also, we have many new installations coming up; like the new Commander, which is to be installed in Amman, Jordan. KBA has been active in the region for many years, and has many local representatives in the region, like Giffin Graphics in the Middle East. We had met many customers at the WANIFRA conference, and had held positive talks on new ideas and developments with them.

14 companies reveal their drupa plans during the 3 day media conference held in Düsseldorf, Germany printing are also on the decline in industrialised markets.” He also added, “We are at the beginning of a comprehensive and exciting integration process of classical and new printing applications. More and more publishing and media firms, ad agencies and designers are realising crossmedia campaigns as well as the very successful Print2Web projects.” It seems that the overall theme of drupa 2012 is the full integration of offset and digital. The presentations by the following 14 companies during the 3 days of conference proved to journalists that the future belongs to the successful integration between conventional and the digital.

HEIDELBERG Heidelberg will participate in drupa under the banner “Discover HEI”. The catch line represents Heidelberg’s approach to the new realities in printing industry including lean production (HEI Productivity), green printing (HEI Eco), web-toprint (HEI Integration), short-run-printing (HEI Flexibility), differentiation through coatings and special effects (HEI Emotions), the future of packaging printing (HEI End), and gaining an

The official drupa 2012 international media conference took place from 27 to 29 February 2012 in Düsseldorf, Germany. More than 100 journalists from all over the world including ME Printer participated in the event. 14 companies along with Messe Düsseldorf laid out their plan for drupa 2012. Werner Matthias Dornscheidt CEO & President of Messe Düsseldorf GmbH during his opening speech underscored the importance of drupa and said that, “drupa will experience and accompany a fundamental transition in the print and media industry. Web-based technologies, digital printing, smart phone communication and of course classical sheet and web offset printing, - these are just a few of the headlines that will be discussed throughout.” According to Dornscheidt, 1,850 exhibitors from more than 50 countries will occupy some 166,000 square metres of exhibition space. 1,189 companies are currently from outside Germany. This figure proves that drupa is still the most sought after international printing exhibition in the world. The geographical distribution of exhibitors also sends out new signals. With 11,000 square metres, participation from China has grown significantly. This corresponds to the importance of the Chinese print-media market, where the printing industry can still boast of growth rates of ten per cent annually. Drupa organizers expect more than 350,000 people to visit drupa 2012. Although in the midst of the global economic slowdown, this figure might be too optimistic, still all the people who are seriously involved in the world of ink and paper would want to visit the show. Digital printing is playing an unprecedented role in drupa this time. Six halls are dedicated to digital printing and related technologies. This is almost a 30% growth compared to drupa 2008 where only 4 halls hosted digital printing systems. Followed by Dornscheidt, Bernhard Schreier Chairman of drupa 2012 Exhibitors Advisory Board talked about the essence of drupa 2012 and technologies that should pack a punch and create impact among visitors. Schreier also described printing as an industry, which is undergoing a structural change. He said, “In industrialised Western countries, the print market is stagnant to a high level. Pira predicts a global growth in the print market, from 1 to 1.5 per cent per year until 2016. It is mainly focussed on the developing countries in Asia and Latin America. China is the most striking example of this. In 2009, 42 billion Euros in print orders were received. That is double the market volume within just six years. Classical ad and media

The new SX series sit between SM models and high end XL models. It’s a more affordable solution than XL, although Heidelberg claims that it is as robust as the XL series. The fruit of the cooperation between Heidelberg and Ricoh will be put on display in drupa 2012 under the banner of Linoprint. Heidelberg will launch its Digital print solutions for the commercial and packaging printing under the name of Heidelberg Linoprint. Heidelberg’s digital offerings include Linoprint C 901 and Linoprint C 751 for short run and Linoprint L product line for digital packaging printing based on inkjet solutions from Heidelberg. Linoprint L (formerly iTS6oo) is a drop-on-demand system for the production of short to medium-sized label and film runs and applications with variable content.

partnerships. This partnership manifests itself in the form of T press. Visitors to the 2000 square meter Kolbus stand will have the opportunity to see one of the world’s fastest digital printing press heading up a complete production line for digital print products – where the starting point is the paper roll and the end product a finished book. The large format, inkjet digital printing press is a Timsons T-Press- shipped from the UK- In a fully automated, non-stop production line, the folded signatures from the press are transported in a shingled stream and processed sequentially by a KOLBUS SF 832 sequential feeder. The KOLBUS KM 200 perfect binder will handle the final stages of complete book production line. The company will showcase Bookjet as well. Kolbus claims that the Bookjet concept changes the old approach to post-print processing in every way. A Bookjet is capable of producing books with different content and different number of pages, not in batches, but one after the other. The number of pages can vary widely – the Bookjet can produce books of twenty, two hundred, or a thousand or more pages.

Ricoh has always been a major player in the digital printing sector. Its new partnership with Heidelberg will strengthen the company’s position, giving it a strong foothold within commercial offset printing sector dominated by Heidelberg. Other than Ricoh Pro C901 Graphic Arts Edition, Pro C751 digital colour cut sheet presses will also be exhibited in Heidelberg’s stand under the brand Linoprint. Ricoh will showcase InfoPrint 5000 VP full colour continuous feed platform as well as a new colour wide format printer with an inbuilt scanner for CAD market. The new 4 colour Ricoh Aficio™ MP CW2200SP features Ricoh’s Liquid Gel. With a maximum print width of 914mm and a suctionfed paper handling, the printer delivers prints larger than A0 size. It can also hold a 20-sheet stack as standard and a second roll as well.

TECHNOTRANS COMBINES SOLUTIONS FOR LITHO & DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY

Customers can evaluate their equipments using Blue Check initiative

ME Printer April 2012

At Drupa 2012 technotrans will showcase products for existing users, investors in litho technology, and for developers of digital production systems. Niels Siegel, Managing Director of technotrans

in the Middle East says, “The timing of Drupa is critical in terms of the economic and technological cycle. This will be a chance to take the pulse of the printing world and to uncover the signposts to the future. The show will provide some very down to earth practical tips on optimizing existing equipments. We value this exhibition as a chance to network with our OEM partners but also to provide litho and digital printers with tools to underpin their profitability.” Detailing the activities of the company, he said, “technotrans is the market leader in dampening water systems, ink supply, temperature control and related press ancillaries. By working closely with key litho and digital press manufacturers, technotrans is able to adapt to changing technologies and production processes for the printed media. technotrans will be using Drupa as a platform to demonstrate its development

in meeting the needs of existing customers and new ones as well.” He added that during drupa customers will be introduced to the Blue-check initiative from technotrans, which will enable them to evaluate their existing equipments. “Our skilled technical team will provide realistic options of how the performance of these systems, and also their part in the production process, can be improved. Water treatment, filtration, fount mixing and alcohol dosing devices have all improved in recent years, and most can be cost effectively retrofitted to existing systems.” Explaining the other highlights offered by the company Niels said, “Along with the comprehensive maintenance packages that technotrans offers, existing users can also be advised on ways to improve efficiency and reduce waste. At Drupa, technotrans will launch the next generation of its market leading beta.c range. The new NR series focuses on driving down electrical energy consumption.” He added, “There are significant periods when press ancillaries do not require full capacity cooling. Make ready time is an example. The integration of digital scroll compressors, enabling variable power output control, combined with speed controlled pumps for ink temperature cooling will reduce power consumption by 20 per cent. Also, the boundary between digital and litho print production has narrowed and technotrans has, in common with many other suppliers to the industry, adapted to the changes in demand. For many years it has used its expertise in fluid handling and cooling to provide solutions for digital presses. For the first time at Drupa, technotrans will exhibit some of these solutions. As digital production devices increase speed and improve quality, there is a greater need for high level temperature stability and humidity control. The constant flow and viscosity of ink is also a critical factor and technotrans demonstrates its expertise in this field by exhibiting the new sigma range of control systems for litho print.” Niels opines that, “At Drupa 2012, users of both litho and digital equipment will have good reasons to visit the technotrans stand. We will uncover a broad range of products that will help them to operate in a more efficient and controlled manner and to reduce cost and be more environmentally responsible. Printers should not risk missing out on visiting the experts who deal across the gamut of production options and have an excellent overview of the modern press market.”

PREMIA TO PREMIER AT DRUPA 2012 The press is an addition to the profit making technology from SOMA

The company SOMA will launch its new PREMIA flexographic printing press at drupa 2012. According to the manufacturers the press combines the benefits of reduced changeover times with less wastage of both materials and consumables. “While developing the press, our main focus was on improving machine up-time,” says Pavla Kusa, Brand Manager. “Special attention was directed to minimize both the environmental impact and the energy consumption levels associated with the print production process and of course in the manufacture of the press itself.” “The concept of ‘profit making technology’ is a reality for us,” adds Kusa. “Our aim is to develop technology, which cost effectively maximizes profits for our customers and gives them a competitive edge. Our designers constantly strive to optimize and enhance the technology of our machines based on research, customer feed-back and market trends. The new PREMIA is our response.” The new PREMIA is available for mid and wide web applications starting from 850mm, through to 1100, 1320 and 1450mm and is equipped with eight printing units. The specification includes a print repeat length of 300 to 915mm from a maximum reel diameter of 1000mm with option for 1300mm. Optional shaft-less unwind and rewind systems are also available. As per the manufacturer the time saving features of the machine includes, SOMA’s INK READY system, a unit that permits preparation of any unused printing decks for new jobs while an existing one is being run. This means ink wash-up, anilox roll changes, ink and viscosity control can all be carried out on the unused

decks to save time. SOMA says that the key user benefits include easy removal of the anilox rollers while the machine is running, access to doctor blade chambers not currently in use and printing sleeve push-off to assist job changes. PREMIA is also equipped with SOMA’s new generation INKFLOW ELITE inking and INKSTORM wash-up system including newly designed FAST BLADE system for comfortable doctor blade changeovers. The PREMIA also benefits from QUICK PASS an improved web threading system from SOMA. The motor driven web threading unit now features a chain system. This simple device reduces job set-up times and ensures that web path travel throughout the press is accurately guided from unwind to rewind. In addition rewind splicing has been replaced with an ionization bar to further speed up job preparation. Featuring new software and technology upgrades SOMA’s latest print setting system, FALCON lll will be launched at DRUPA 2012. This new version is available for the PREMIA and enables even faster job setting without print marks and greater accuracy and consistency regardless of operator skills with even less material waste, according to manufacturers. Also making its debut at DRUPA 2012 is SOMA’s INK FIX colour matching technology. “Colour matching is another activity that can cost time and generate waste”, explains Kusa. “When starting each new job, it is necessary to find a correspondence between the reference colour and the printed colour, within given tolerances. Our INK FIX system reduces waste and significantly increases the efficiency of on-press colour correction.” “Since one of the most energy demanding parts of a press is compressed air for pneumatic pumps, the PREMIA is equipped with a new control system that significantly reduces consumption,” concludes Kusa. “Special ink containers, each consisting of a double-layer shell to cool the ink dispense with and replace traditional complex cooling systems. In terms of safety, the PREMIA is provided with a new type of isolation system that covers all parts of the machine, including the drying unit, tunnel, front and print unit covers.”

Our aim is to develop technology, which cost effectively maximizes profits for our customers and gives them a competitive edge Pavla Kusa
