Rapida 76

Full automation in half format

The Rapida 76 sets new standards in B2 sheetfed offset. The unique Koenig & Bauer features and automation functions seen in medium format machines are now available for our half format customers. Full preset capabilities, a sidelay-free infeed and even more flexible configurations means the format class can cater for all segments and levels of job complexity.

Even broader scope of applications

The Rapida 76 is a highly efficient press for a diversity of applications.

In packaging printing, configurations of up to ten printing units, numerous coating options, raised foundations for higher piles, an especially wide substrate range, and production speeds up to 18,000 sheets/h. For commercial printers we focus our technology on transitioning from job to job as quickly as possible, offering perfecting capability for that complete sheet to be delivered and reducing waste by minimising run up sheets to good colour, then maintaining that tight tolerance throughout the run.
