Press manufacturing giant Koenig & Bauer has kicked off its live virtual event, which is highlighting the latest developments, and running every day during what would have been drupa.

During the first session, Koenig & Bauer also said its will be releasing a host of post-press innovations, include a flatbed die-cutter, the CutPro 106, and the Rapida RDC 106 rotary die cutter. The latter comes with inline blanking, the company says it is the fastest on the market. Ralf Sammeck sheetfed segment director, said: “We want to be your first choice, not only for printing presses but also for post-press.”
