Advanced Downtime-reducing Mechanisms
An integral factor for improving productivity is to decrease press downtime. To reduce the time and effort spent on make-ready tasks, press cleaning and maintenance and other press preparation work, extensive automated and highly efficient mechanisms have been equipped, enabling greater press availability even for schedules requiring multiple job changes.
Touch panels have been implemented for control and adjustment of vacuum air at the side-lay and air volume at the front-lay Bernoulli device. An automatic preset function, based on different sheet types and thicknesses is incorporated. Storing air adjustment settings of special sheets or individual jobs to the IPC-III enables batch presetting for repeat jobs.
Uncompromising Pursuit of Print Quality
Various systems serve essential roles geared to quality control. Included here is a proven air management system that contributes to highly stable sheet transfer and multitude of highly reliable mechanisms developed by combining technologies accumulated over many years. Our uncompromising pursuit of high print quality is intended to meet diversified print demands.
RMGT’s own advanced air management technologies ensures stable sheet transfer at all times.

High-level Print Quality Controls
The best software is required for intelligently improving press stability. Included here is RMGT’s expert software – a program for automating color adjustment at job changes and for maintaining the highest print quality. In addition, the print quality control system reduces sheet waste and includes other cutting edge technologies.
MCCS-e uses X-Rite’s sensor to measure printed color patches. The original predictive control algorithm calculates the amount of ink deviation from the difference between target and measured values. MCCS-e automatically controls ink key opening volume to immediately converge on target values by performing color adjustment with high accuracy. In addition, an economy-type printing density control system, PDS-E SpectroDrive* is also available.

Operator-friendly Performance
Real-time viewing of sheet transfer by press-mounted video cameras is available on the live-view monitor at the press operation console. The information display features a monitoring function to show image area data, job progress, print density measurement results and operating conditions of safety devices. The screen can be viewed on a tablet connected to a Wi-Fi network, allowing remote operation at locations away from the delivery section. The press information display contributes to a comfortable operational environment. (Normally, three cameras are installed, but up to a maximum of 10 can be accommodated.)
*option
- PPC Server (PPC Server III)
This server converts image area ratio data generated by CIP3/CIP4-PPF and CIP4-JDF-enabled pre-press systems and provides data on ink key opening volume.
- Print Job Manager*
This press operation control system connects compatible presses* (see graphic) via a network to manage the production schedule and transmit printing job data. It collects real-time data on press operating status and automatically generates data for production analysis. The Print Job Manager can be connected to a JDF-compatible management system (MIS).

Environmentally Friendly
The LED-UV curing system features long-life lamps and substantially reduces power consumption to conventional UV lamps. Minimal heat generation at the unit’s light source reduces heat on films and other printing substrates. In addition, the system switches on and off instantaneously, offering more effective press utilization.
*option
The power savings of the ecoUV curing system closely follows that of the LED-UV curing system for quick curing. As with the LED-UV curing unit, the ecoUV curing unit can be installed in the standard delivery unit and can also be easily retrofitted on existing presses in operation.
*option
- Eco Drive Motor
A highly efficient eco drive motor serves as the main press motor. Compared to conventional drive motors, its power consumption is reduced by 7 to 8%*.
*Reduction value depends on operating conditions of the press.
- Reduced Sheet Waste
Expert software that automatically adjusts ink volume during job changeover and print start-up also works with the high-speed impression cylinder and other sophisticated mechanisms to reduce sheet waste before the start of a print run.
Various Model Line-ups for Customer Applications
Skeleton Transfer Cylinder
These cylinders have no cylinder surface, transferring sheets by using only grippers. With no cylinder surface to come in contact with the sheet, outstanding print quality is achieved even with full-page images. An opening on the cylinders allows easy access to the air chambers to facilitate cleaning.
Automatic Nonstop Feeder / Delivery Shutter*
The automatic nonstop feeder and delivery shutter makes it possible to print long runs of heavy stock without the need for stopping the press. These devices eliminate downtime and reduce sheet waste during pile loading and removal and improves press productivity
*option
Chamber Coater*
The chamber coater maintains a consistent coating thickness at all times regardless of printing speed. It is ideal for jobs requiring thick applications in spot and pattern coatings as well as with high-quality gold, silver and other metallic inks. Coating thickness adjustments are accomplished by changing out the anilox roller. Register adjustment is a standard feature that facilitates precise coating control.
*option
The reverse-side printing units are connected to conventional straight printing units by a translink unit to provide single-pass perfecting without the need to reverse the printed sheets.
Translink Unit Streamlines Sheet Transfer
The unique translink unit smoothly and stably conveys sheets from reverse-side printing units to front-side printing units without the need to reverse the sheets, providing a key role in printing speed and quality. The press produces little fan-out since it does not alternately print the front side and back side, achieving highly accurate front to back side registration similar to that of straight presses. In addition, the press transfers sheets without changing the vertical direction, eliminating the need to make plates differently for front side and back side printing units.
- – Front Side Printing Units
These units inherit a proven design, including the world’s first application of the seven o’clock cylinder arrangement and a highly responsive inking system with high-precision ink keys.
- – Vacuum Hold-down Cylinder
The cylinder stabilizes sheet transfer to front side printing units with each sheet held in place by an air vacuum immediately after its back side is printed, preventing the occurrence of scratches and ink smearing due to sheet flutter.
- – Back Side Printing Units
These units provide the same high quality features as front side printing units with operational access on the same floor level, reducing the need for constantly going up to the upper structure.
Original Three Double-diameter Cylinder Mechanism
RMGT’s original three double-diameter cylinder sheet reversing mechanism provides smooth and accurate sheet reversal and highly accurate front side to back side registration at all printing speed ranges. Doubling the size of the reversing cylinder at the center of the convertible perfecting device allows smooth sheet transfer during reversal with application for up to 0.6 mm sheet thickness.
Changeover between straight printing and perfecting is automatically accomplished with a single touch operation in just three minutes. The straight printing mode responds to high value-added printing needs, including special color inks and OP varnish coating
