The high-tech Koenig & Bauer Commander CT is available as a double-width (4/2) or triple-width (6/2) version engineered for 4/4 printing. Even the basic version features an extensive, module-based automation package that affords enormous flexibility and ease of operation in accommodating individual production specifications. Along with incorporating dedicated plate-cylinder drives throughout, automatic roller locks ensure optimal roller pressure and less maintenance input. Another key feature of the Commander CT, and one designed to enhance cost efficiency when printing frequent short runs or local editions, is the  Koenig & Bauer   PlateTronic  automatic plate-changing system. It changes individual plates, all plates in a four-high tower or plates in multiple towers in two minutes or less. Koenig & Bauer  CleanTronic  automatically washes the blankets while the plates are being changed. This saves time and increases output. The press is designed to deliver a uniform print quality and minimise waste. User-friendly  Koenig & Bauer   ErgoTronic  consoles with concise data screens are a standard feature. The interfaces to the master systems for press preset, process control, production monitoring via  Koenig & Bauer PressNet  and dedicated software are clearly defined. Where space is limited or where there is a need to extend conventional press lines, the extremely compact design even allows the configuration of eight-high towers with an overall press height of just 9m (32ft). Some users have also implemented hot-air dryers to print supplements in heatset or hybrid products as well as newspapers in coldset.
