Latest research and development results in print image transfer were reported by MAN Roland specialists, experts of the industry gave talks on technological aspects. Stefan Füllgraf, CONTITECH AG, discussed blankets, Peter Michel, KINYO Germany GmbH, contributed knowledge about blanket plates.
In the hallowed halls

The guests were able to get an impression of how web offset is being advanced in its technological facets on the LABORMAN development press and on dynamic test stations. With the morning thus devoted to theory, printing praxis was turned to at noon. In the “Blanket” and “Blanket Plate” workshops it was shown that the products are proving their worth in practical use.
