The names Rapida 185 and Rapida 205 are practically synonyms for superlarge-format printing. When they were first launched a few years ago, they redefined the standards for sheetfed offset in XXL format. Even in the digital age, superlarge-format presses remain in demand, not only for poster printing, but also – and especially – for displays and king-size packaging.
New fields of business thanks to modern technology
A maximum production format of 1.51 x 2.05 metres confirms the Rapida 205 as the largest sheetfed press in the world in terms of sheet size. With a sheet area in excess of 3 m2 and a maximum printing speed of 9,000 sheets/h, it is capable of delivering a printed area of almost 28,000 m2 per hour. That is a figure which no other sheetfed offset press can match.
