sector, offer<strong>in</strong>g an extensive range of<br />

Redef<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g standardised quality production<br />

Cort<strong>in</strong>a 4/1, 4/2, 6/2<br />

Our waterless, gearless Cort<strong>in</strong>a is KBA’s<br />

revolutionary contribution to colour<br />

newspaper production <strong>in</strong> the 21st century.<br />

It pr<strong>in</strong>ts newspapers and semi-commercials<br />

to high quality standards. Its compact<br />

footpr<strong>in</strong>t and low-rise towers mean the<br />

Cort<strong>in</strong>a can be <strong>in</strong>stalled <strong>in</strong> standard<br />

<strong>in</strong>dustrial build<strong>in</strong>gs and requires less<br />

mann<strong>in</strong>g, which cuts capital <strong>in</strong>vestment<br />

and overhead costs. <strong>The</strong> absence of <strong>in</strong>k keys<br />

and dampen<strong>in</strong>g reduces operator workload<br />

and m<strong>in</strong>imises waste while deliver<strong>in</strong>g a<br />

superb four-colour image with a 60lpc<br />

(150lpi) screen. <strong>The</strong> <strong>in</strong>k mist typically<br />

associated with wet offset simply cannot<br />

occur with the environmentally friendly<br />

Coldset and heatset production on the Cort<strong>in</strong>a with no change of <strong>in</strong>k reduces pressroom emissions<br />

Whether 4/1, 4/2 or 6/2, the Cort<strong>in</strong>a is not<br />

only exceptionally efficient but also userand<br />

ma<strong>in</strong>tenance-friendly. Its w<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g<br />

features <strong>in</strong>clude PlateTronic automatic plate<br />

cyl<strong>in</strong>der bear<strong>in</strong>gs and a four-high tower<br />

that splits down the centre at the touch of a<br />

button (StepIn).<br />

Coldset and heatset with the same <strong>in</strong>ks<br />

<strong>The</strong> major technological benefits delivered<br />

by the Cort<strong>in</strong>a are clear: coldset and<br />

heatset copies can be pr<strong>in</strong>ted us<strong>in</strong>g the<br />

same <strong>in</strong>k, with no time-consum<strong>in</strong>g changes<br />

necessary, and hybrid coldset/heatset<br />

copies on different types of stock can be<br />

guided over the same former. What is more<br />

there is no fan-out, even on wide webs.<br />
