Print Solutions: Positive About Print

The launch of the Roland 900 Evolution large format press and new models of the Roland 700 Evolution now complete Manroland Sheetfed’s Evolution family of technologically advanced offset presses.

Following the success of the Roland 700 Evolution press, launched at drupa 2016, the new Roland 700 Evolution Elite, Speed and Lite models bear all the hallmarks of innovation, productivity and quality that have become synonymous with the Evolution name, and a wealth of innovative automation technologies to benefit printers worldwide.

Among these features are Autoprint, providing uninterrupted productivity from pre-press to post press at the touch of a button and InLine ColorPilot 3.0 – a fast, efficient and accurate colour measurement technology, measuring densitometrical and colorimetrical values in a single pass.

New Triple Flow inking technology addresses specific challenges for large format print, providing three separate ink running modes, while the AC Drive promises annual savings of up to 10,000 kWh – or eight years over the lifetime of the press.

Today the Roland Evolution family comprises:

Roland 700 Evolution Elite flagship model. Roland 700 Evolution Speed – 20,000 sheets per hour model. Roland 700 Evolution Lite – legendary quality, entry level model. Roland 900 Evolution – large format.

The ROLAND 900 Evolution is a field leading large format press, and now with the entire Evolution family this enables us to bring the benefits of our innovative technology to printers worldwide.’
