Northprint 2011

Join manroland at Northprint to futureproof your business and discover the secrets of profitable print

At Northprint 2011, manroland will be using Stand B212 (next to the Litho Technology Theatre) to demonstrate how commercial and packaging printers can ‘FutureProof’ their businesses and extract maximum value and profit from print. Regular presentations and hands-on demonstrations will be focused on showing how printers can dramatically enhance print productivity and quality by investing in manroland’s cutting-edge press technologies, on-press workflow and quality assurance solutions, support services as well as its extensive range of pressroom products including respected industry brands such as Vulcan and printcom blankets

Returning to Northprint for the first time since 2007, manroland representatives will be on hand throughout the three days of the show to discuss the latest developments in manroland’s Secrets of Profitable Print (www.secretsofprinting.com) product range including:

• the ROLAND 200 H LV small format press with extended delivery and integrated coating module;
• the newly-designed ROLAND 700 HiPrint HS hi-speed medium format workhouse capable of producing up to 18,000 sheets an hour. The HS is built on DirectDrive technology, manroland’s multi-tasking, and multiple-award winning champion; and
• the ROLAND 900 XXL perfector, a Format 7B and 8 perfecting press offering a maximum sheet size of 1,310 x 1,870 millimetres and prints 64 A4 pages in one pass.

Information on products and services from manroland’s printcom and printservices divisions including 24/7 remote diagnostics, pro-active press maintenance packages and the latest additions to manroland’s pressroom product range – environmental spill control solutions from Lubetech - will all be available on the stand. Visitors will have an opportunity to book in for a free pressroom audit from manroland, which involves a manroland printcom expert visiting the print house to assess equipment and pressroom product usage and advising on the best course of action to ensure the print production process is as efficient as possible. manroland executives will also be on hand to discuss the latest developments in the recently announced manroland/Océ partnership, which is currently being rolled out in the UK.

manroland’s growing portfolio of on-press automation and management technologies, including the QuickChange range and intelligent colour and quality management tools such as InlineColorPilot and manrolandColor – which offers printers the chance to print CMYK and two or more specials in a single pass - as well as the company’s material logistics system, AUPASYS, and waste management solution will also be represented on the stand, with the manroland team available to discuss the productivity benefits of each of these solutions.

Samples of manroland’s value-added printing such as ‘glasses free’ 3D prints and cold foil-enhanced and embossed print will be on prominent display, all demonstrating the broad range of added value products that can be printed on manroland presses.

Finally, manroland will use Northprint to highlight the benefits of its futureproof package, introduced at IPEX 2010, which aims to protect printers’ investments in press technology by providing them with a selection of technology options that can be retrofitted to the press in the future as demand requires. Printers can ask for on-stand demonstrations of the company’s latest additions to its application tool kit, the new eco-meter and investment calculator, both of which can be used to evaluate current production capabilities to ensure that the next investment made is the right one for each business. And on the business consultancy side, manroland will present its PreAct solution from printnet, used to monitor overall press performance on a monthly basis throughout the year. PreAct provides printers with a full data report, which indentifies the areas for improvement in order to ensure optimum press performance.

At the Litho Technology Theatre next door to the stand, manroland will be hosting a 45 minute seminar entitled “Future Proofing Your Business”. This will include a presentation from manroland customer and a ROLAND 500 user, Harry Skidmore MBE, CEO of Easibind International, a company renowned for its innovative approach to printing on a wide variety of substrates, including glasses free 3D and animation. Harry Skidmore will look at ways printers can add maximum value to print; outline what to consider when looking to invest in a new press and the benefits to the bottom line of printing companies gaining environmental credentials. The seminars will run every day at 12.30 and are free to attend.
