Two quality assurance systems ensure perfect stability of the print register during set-up and production: Start & Go allows the fully automatic register setting of multi-colour jobs, whereby any cliché irregularities are automatically corrected after just eleven sheets. Lead & Print In turn, this guarantees the consistency of the print-to-print and print-to-punch register during production and proactively compensates for irregularities in the corrugated board sheets.

Thanks to the fast job changeovers, it offers everything from prefeeding to palletising with minimal effort. Maximum availability. A robust construction is designed to minimise wear on the durable Bobst quality parts.
