The Printing House
Press
The machinery at Narayana Press is designed to provide optimal production of a wide variety of products.
The KBA Rapida 106 and Roland machines are printing with environmentally friendly LED-UV technics and classic oil-based inks.
The printing machines are equipped with modern technology assuring the best quality and uniformity in printing. Through a Pecom and LogoTronic server press pre-settings are prepared for all jobs, e.g. colour zone settings (CIP3), and the settings used are automatically archived.
During printing, ink density values are adjusted by CCI, resulting in uniform ink control throughout the print run.
For colour management and calibration, Narayana Press has developed its own control sheet.
Technique alone would not suffice without a team of experienced and committed printers working with great care and concentration.
The foremen perform quality control 24 hours a day.
