"Visitors to our stand will clearly observe the power of manroland sheetfed solutions to help their companies face the many challenges of today's printing industry with the most innovative and productive sheetfed offset solutions in the industry," said Alfred Rothlaender, President of manroland sheetfed. "With our new structure firmly in place, customers will experience an even more responsive partner in manroland sheetfed. We are dedicated to helping customers future-proof their businesses as we work hard to meet or exceed their expectations for excellence, both in product and services."
Packaging opportunities
A key element of manroland sheetfed's drupa presence will be its solutions for the packaging market. These solutions have been created based on intensive research and development as well as customer feedback about market requirements, and include:
- The ROLAND 708LV printing press equipped with the new indexed InlineFoiler, which saves up to 55 percent in consumption of foil.
- An inline coating unit for added value printing effects that enhance the already high quality delivered by the press.
- Intelligent color pre-setting with self-learning software that can bring ongoing productivity gains to the production floor.
- All required inline control technology, from color to register and full sheet inspection down to 200 dpi, along with PDF comparison down to 4pt text (multiple camera system) to ensure accuracy and readability of the final printed product.
Visitors to manroland sheetfed's stand will also be able to learn about other high productivity packaging solutions, like the production in half-format with the ROLAND 500 and medium format with the ROLAND 700 as well as special 0B+ and 3B+ sizes, with speeds as high as 18,000 sheets per hour. In addition, manroland sheetfed now offers larger formats 5 and 6 with the ROLAND 900 at speeds of up to 16,000 sheets per hour with the high-speed packaging equipment. manroland sheetfed also offers logistic solutions, from the new automated nonstop to full configurations that deliver efficient process optimization individually scalable to every printer's needs (AUPASYS).
Continued innovation in commercial print
In addition to pursuing advanced solutions for the packaging market, manroland sheetfed also offers innovative solutions for the commercial printing market. This includes the ability for printers to better address customer requirements for faster turnaround using manroland sheetfed solutions that include:
- The just-ready print solution powered by LEC-UV (low energy curing).
- A new hybrid inkjet solution integrated in the press for individualized printing.
- autoprint smart for automated processes between large job signatures combined with superfast make-readies enabled by DirectDrive technology and full inline quality control.

- a new press console and user interface requiring less operator attention and offering easier handling.
Smaller presence, bigger story
