Premiere for the Genius 52UV and Universys in Romania
Romania’s most famous printing house, Monitorul Oficial R.A., has put its money where its mouth is and is expanding its production facilities by adding two machines from KBA-Metronic, a subsidiary of the world’s oldest printing press manufacturer, Koenig & Bauer (KBA). This makes Monitorul Oficial the first company in Romania to use a Genius 52UV and a Universys. The Genius 52UV printing press, designed for use with plastics and sensitive substrates in the 36 x 52 cm format, as well as the Universys personalization system for the individualising of cards in the ISO standard format (85.5 x 54 mm) have just started work in Bucharest. The company wants to expand its product portfolio sustainably towards plastic films and special printing substrates. Besides book covers, cards in particular are printed in a multiple image production process, and then personalized on the modular configured Universys machine.
