در انتهای یک روز جمعه چاپچی با دقت به ورق های روی میز نگاه می کند. این ورق ها سفارش مشتری نیستند بلکه وی دارد آزمایش می کند که چگونه هنگام استفاده از مرکب های فلورسنت در ماشین رپیدا 106، شدت رنگ ها را  به حداکثر برساند؟

ژاکلین ون آس می گوید: "هنگام آزمایش برای قابلیت های فنی هیچ راهی برای ما طولانی نیست". برای تضمین کنترل کامل روی روند چاپ، متخصص پیش از چاپ شرکت نیز در این آزمایشات شرکت دارد. وی ماشین چاپ را همانند چاپچی  ها به خوبی می شناسد و بخش بزرگی از وقتش را صرف ایجاد پروفایل های بهینه برای کاغذهای بدون کوتینگ می کند. جنسن می گوید: "تمام کارهای چاپی در هر تیراژی با دقت فراوان به جزئیات انجام می شوند." ما انواع  مختلف کاغذها را انتخاب می کنیم تا اگر انتخاب اولمان به هر دلیلی چاپ نشود، در کارمان وقفه نیفتد. 

اهمیت اصالت رنگ ها!!

مرکب هایی با پیگمنت بالا برای رپیدا 76 با خشک کن اچ آر - یووی ساخته شده است. ون آس: "ما مشتریان زیادی داریم که برایشان کیفیت مهم تر از کمیت است. ما تخصص کافی روی کاغذهای معمولی بدون پوشش داریم. در اینجا همچنین درست بودن رنگ اهمیت فراوان دارد و رنگ ها باید روی کاغذ بدرخشند. ما علاوه بر مشتریان همیشگی، مشتریانی داریم که بودجه محدودی دارند و از ما راهکارهای خلاقانه می خواهند."

مثال های دیدنی و جذاب روی میز هستند: کتاب ها و بروشورهایی در انواع متنوع. روبستالک علاوه بر مرکب های CMYK از انواع متعدد مرکب های PMS استفاده می کند. استفاده از این رنگ های متنوع باعث می شود که جزئیات کار بهتر دیده شوند. محصولات چاپ شده - حتی روی کاغذ معمولی - زنده و پر از رنگ هستند. 

Print is already dry when it leaves the press

Van As: “In spring 2013, we commissioned the first Rapida 76 in the world. The underlying principle appealed to us from the start: Printing with highly reactive inks and HR-UV drying at every unit, which means that the sheets are already dry when they leave the press. Furthermore, there is plenty of scope for experimentation to achieve special effects by printing wet-on-dry. The results are pin-sharp, without even a hint of spreading. The ink stays on the surface of the paper rather than penetrating deep into its fibres. In short: The print is really impressive.”The Rapida 76 prints in B2 format 530 x 750 mm, and robstolk chose a five-colour version with additional coater. Important features alongside fully automatic plate changing are the inline colour measuring system QualiTronic ColorControl and the HR-UV dryers. With this drying technology, energy consumption is reduced considerably compared to a conventional UV press. Two highlights which are unique in the B2 format class are the DriveTronic feeder and the sidelay-free infeed DriveTronic SIS, which have been inherited from the larger Rapida 106. The press stands out with extremely fast makeready and its suitability to print a broad spectrum of substrates.

Absolutely satisfied

Janssen: “When you are the first company to work with a new press, you know in advance that the learning curve for your staff, as well as for KBA and Wifac, is unlikely to point steeply upwards the whole time. It is bound to look like a roller coaster at times, and this expectation turned out to be true.”

Van As and Janssen are thus all the more appreciative of the support provided by Wifac over the course of this adventure: “The technical assistance from the KBA engineers in Radebeul is equally outstanding. They can log in to the press from their own offices to perform remote diagnoses. It is also a great advantage that, if a technician from Wifac needs to call after all, he then already brings the right spare parts.”

Technicians will shortly be updating the control software of the Rapida 76 with appropriate patches. “We are absolutely satisfied with the press. Faced with the same decision again, we would definitely still chose the Rapida 76. With the kind of products we print, this press is perfect for the job. And especially because we are not afraid of change, we also look for unconventional solutions if the standard approach fails to succeed. That is also interesting for KBA. Only recently, engineers from Radebeul visited us. They wanted to see at first hand what these quirky printers from Amsterdam were doing. That was quite an experience. But even more important is that we are able to constantly surprise our customers with new ideas. With this press, we really can stand out above the market standard.”The company robstolk will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of its founding this year. Tanneke Janssen and Jacqueline van As took the business over from the founding family of Rob Stolk in 2003.
