At drupa 2024, Landa Digital Printing has announced the next generation of its B1 digital print technology. The Landa S11 and S11P Nanographic Printing Presses use artificial intelligence technology and can print 11,200 sheets per hour.
Gil Oron, chief executive officer at Landa Digital Printing, says the new models offer productivity gains. He says, “Following the success of our customers with current Landa S10 and S10P models and based on deep understanding of the industry’s future needs, we are taking Nanography to its next level.
“The new Landa models enable printers and packaging converters to not only increase print quality, but also elevate productivity and profitability while further reducing job turnaround times.”
“As a mature and proven technology platform, we’re proud that over 50 Landa presses are now at the heart of many businesses in 14 countries around the world – with more than 20 per cent of our customers having placed a repeat order for a second or third press.
“Considered a critical growth engine for folding carton converters, commercial printers, and point of purchase specialists, we’ve entered a new era of print production with Nanography. A time when previous technology limitations have been removed, and print buyers can finally have what they want, when they want it, beautiful print, with unlimited design potential produced economically, at market leading turnaround times, and with the environment always in mind.”
The new Landa S11 and S11P models include a new ink drying system that enables transfer of dry ink from the blanket to the media, at the higher speed of 11,200 SPH. Landa says it can customise the presses to the exact requirements of each customer. Each new press comes with a choice of four or seven colours, a continuous printing capability, an optional in-line coating unit, and the opportunity to purchase the 11K Module elevating productivity to 11,200 SPH and/or the PrintAI module.
Oron adds, “The new Landa modules provide a significant premium to customers. While much of the new S11 series is based on the same robust and proven S10 platform, with the additional capabilities launched today, customers can expand their service offering or break into profitable new markets.
“More widely, there’s no question that the B1 digital print revolution is underway. Landa presses help many print houses and converters to meet some of the industry’s biggest challenges. As a result, they can take advantage of some of its biggest opportunities.”
