In spring 2013, KBA and Wifac installed the world's first KBA Rapida 76 at print company robstolk, right in the centre of Amsterdam. Company owners Tanneke Janssen and Jacqueline van As can now look back over four exciting years: “With the kind of products we print, this press is perfect for the job.”

Instead, he is testing how to maximise colour intensity when using fluorescent inks on the Rapida 76.
