Long perfector to Kingdom of Bahrain

In 2008 Awal Press, Bahrain, moved to new premises. Key capital investments followed to equip the new plant. A manroland ROLAND 700 HiPrint five-color with coater was among the machines the company purchased. Following that the need for a long perfector drove Awal Press to buy an eight-color ROLAND 700 HiPrint with perfecting.

Awal Press has been catering for Bahrain’s printing industry for the past 50 years. Today, Awal Press is considered among its peers to be one of the leaders in printing technology. One of the major reasons behind Awal’s decision to go for a ROLAND 700 HiPrint long perfector is the increasing demand for ever shorter-run print jobs, ever shorter delivery dates and ever higher printing quality. With long perfectors print products can be delivered just in time. Long perfectors often offer more flexibility to meet shorter delivery times and provide a broader portfolio of print products.

The ROLAND 700 HiPrint offers perfect ink distribution through an optimal number of rollers that ensures an even balance between storage capacity and fast reaction. The modern principle of double-diameter impression cylinders and transferters ensures gentle sheet travel. Then there is the AirGlide delivery that produces perfectly even stacks thanks to a particularly flat sheet ascent and a long sheet stabilization path. All this adds up to no streaking or ghosting, pin-sharp halftones, precise and constant tone value reproduction, excellent register and rich solids.
