20th KBA Cortina goes to the island of La RéunionWaterless offset in the Indian ocean
Alongside a flurry of orders for sheetfed offset presses totalling far over 100m ($113m), on the last day of a spectacularly successful Drupa the Koenig & Bauer Group (KBA) announced the sale of a waterless KBA Cortina compact web press. Until now, with the exception of newspaper house Gulf News in Dubai, only European printing companies have installed the waterless Cortina, a press known for its excellent print quality. The 20th press ordered from this highly automated press series will produce newspapers, magazines, supplements and other print products thousands of kilometres away on the popular island of La Réunion which belongs to France.
