With this first edition after the DRUPA, the biggest trade fair for the printing and paper indus-

try in Düsseldorf, Germany, I would like to welcome you and hope that the following articles

in our magazine contain much input for your operative business. Our industry still finds itself

in a difficult position and we are all searching for ways of improving it.

That means we must either increase the attractiveness of our products, and with it the sales

and gross income, or we will have to save on the costs. All our products have an excellent

price/performance ratio, and they are not only best in quality – they are often also price lead-

ers. We will not give up our high quality standards nor become a cheap second-level brand

in the market – instead, we would rather attempt to increase our quality and the benefits of

our products for you.

At a company and a product level, quality is not an overnight miracle. It is a management respon-

sibility that needs to be managed –sometimes also against internal opposition. After achieving

our ISO 9001 certification, we took a look at the internal processes of our in-house printing de-

partment and subsequently, after being additionally certified for “PSO” (Process Standards for

Offset), went on to standardise the proofing and printing processes with our customers. This

resulted in objective order and delivery processing, and a strong cut down in complaint rates.

In addition, we joined forces with a specialist for QM processes in the automobile industry (!)

and carried out systematic error analyses at a major customer of ours, with the result that

make-ready times and production downtimes clearly declined. After all, it is only possible

to solve errors when we recognize these in the procedures and work on them. Quality man-

agement (QM) does not lead to increased costs, instead it leads to higher savings and better

results in the short term.

You are welcome to discuss this process of systematic quality management with us in a

printing plant, and we are always looking forward to your visit! And, of course, we are also

hoping that you will increasingly not only recognize us as a dealer, but also as a service

provider!

With this in mind, I wish you and us a lot of success in the next months and years ahead of us.

Yours sincerely,

Dear customers, dear readers,

On 16 March 2012, an open-house event was organised in the marks-3zet Waterless Printing

Centre for the newly installed Genius 52UV demonstration machine. Almost 40 users and

people interested in waterless offset printing accepted the invitation of KBA-MePrint and

marks-3zet.

In his welcoming address, Dr. Sieger emphasised that the Waterless Printing Centre is ded-

icated to research, development and training in the field of waterless printing technology,

neutral towards all manufacturers.

With these open-house events, we wish to intensify the exchange of experience on this plat-

form and to engage other participants in the process, such as the manufacturers of inks and

paper, etc.

Hans-Joachim Koch made a presentation about the various types of printing plates, includ-

ing the imaging and development process. Since a Heidelberg Speedmaster is available in

the Waterless Printing Centre, Mr Koch was able to present the first results of a comparison

between a short inking and a conventional inking unit. In summary one can say that lithog-

raphy using ink zone adjustment screws should actually be outdated. A few initial tips from

daily practice could be provided regarding to rubber blankets.

The Genius 52UV, with its zoneless short inking unit, assumes that the prepress phase is

under control. The company IPM Müller & Resing has presented an excellent application

with Living PSO!, which, in addition to process calibration, also includes the introduction of

standardised processes and their certification.

With PrintProzessControl, the easy-to-use software specially developed by IPM Müller &

Resing, an impressive result was achieved according to PSO. It means that the printing pro-

cess is fully controllable. The software is easy to use and was awarded the Innovation Prize

of the German printing industry.

After a job change, every participant was able to determine himself how many sheets would

be described as misprints. Between five and ten sheets were mentioned.

The response of visitors was excellent and encourages us in our plans to continue with such

events.

marks-3zet opens branch office for waterle ss offset printing in Moscow, Russia

In December 2011, marks-3zet and a joint venture partner, Mr Oleg Timofeyev, Managing

Director of TBS Engineering, opened a branch office including a warehouse in the capital of

Russia, Moscow. Our new offices are located in a highly modern business centre and can be

quickly and comfortably reached via metro from the city centre.

Since then, all our existing and also all new customers for waterless technology from the

growing markets of Russia and the former CIS countries are being served by a local contact

person, who speaks the local language and provides sales support for our well-known prod-

uct range in the area of waterless offset printing1. At with marks-3zet, the parent company,

high customer satisfaction is given the utmost priority, and our Russian branch has already

gained a reputation for a high level of competence and reliability.

The transfer of know-how and the same quality standards in customer service are ensured

through support by German marks-3zet colleagues as by qualified, on-site personnel that

have been trained in Mülheim, Germany.

Mr Oleg Timofeyev, our joint venture partner in Russia, has gained many years of experience

in the application of waterless offset printing in his own printing company in Moscow and

also through his activities as a dealer for waterless printing machines. The printing plant,

which is located in close vicinity to the office, is already being successfully used as a „show

room“, and we are planning to expand it on the same level of Mülheim, so that more potential

customers can be enthused for waterless printing technology.

8

Furthermore, our Operations Manager Ms Olga Tsarkova has many years of experience in

the Russian printing industry, where she has worked in sales and executive positions for

many Russian dealers for consumables and has also supported existing waterless printing

technology customers in that country, thereby increasing her know-how. Locally, Ms Tsark-

ova will be the direct contact person for our customers, getting new orders and supporting

existing and potential new customers.

The team is complemented by Mr Maxim Gelmann, who is of Russian descent and has suc-

cessfully supported marks-3zet in numerous strategic projects for quite some time, both in

Germany and in foreign countries. Mr Gelmann will be the manager of the Moscow branch.

With his international experience, his strategic way of thinking and the required know-how

regarding the facts, mentalities and conditions in international markets, he has the com-

9

tinuous efforts to extend the transfer of know-how to printing media, which, in addition to

advertisements in important professional magazines, has also led to a close co-operation

with the corresponding editorial departments, where specific professional articles have been

and continue to be published.

Further articles in magazines, as well as advertisements in online and print media, are part

of the current marketing planning. A professional seminar is also being planned in co-op-

eration with universities in Russia and Ukraine. Besides these examples of just a few of the

petency required for successfully establishing the marks-3zet concept in Russia and CIS

countries.

Since its establishment in December 2011, our branch office in Russia has been able to suc-

cessfully establish itself on the market and has developed a customer base of approximately

20 regular customers, both in Russia and the CIS countries. Besides direct sales, we also

work actively with some local dealers to be able to ensure a better regional coverage. Our

local customers primarily serve the following market segments: CD/DVD printing, security

printing and the printing of smart cards and high quality advertising materials. As part of our

service commitment, and with the objective of being able to help our customers in all emer-

gencies and in a timely manner, we have established a warehouse in Moscow that contains a

stock of 4 to 6 weeks of the most important consumables used by our customers.

Moreover, we are continuing our efforts to inspire more and more customers to use the

waterless printing technology. In view of the virgin nature of the market and given the high

market potential of waterless printing technology, we are convinced that a successful market

penetration can be achieved with a strategic approach and pro-active education of the mar-

ket. Our strategic focus for the near future therefore lies in the area of PR and marketing.

As part of these plans, we successfully participated in October 2011 in “Polygraphinter”, the

largest Russian printing trade fair that takes place every two years in Moscow, where we also

organised a well attended seminar on the subject of waterless offset printing technology. At

this fair, and also at the 2012 DRUPA, where we participated on the stand of marks-3zet, we

received numerous inquiries and were able to provide valuable know-how. We make con-

marketing and PR activities that we undertake within the framework of spreading know-how,

we also make many efforts to directly contact potential end-users and large retailers, trying

to push demand “from the bottom up”.

Besides the acquisition of new customers, which includes test printing for potential clients,

we also use the know-how of our German colleagues in providing consulting to existing cli-

ents, especially with regard to recognising and using the market potential of waterless offset

printing technology in addition to their current activities.

Instead of an investment in new presses, and as an answer to specific conditions on the

market, we sometimes offer potential new customers the possibility of refitting their older

machines with a cooling system at a lower cost. The majority of printing machines con-

structed after 2002 permit such a refitting with an air or water cooling system, enabling our

customers to use the potential of waterless printing at a relatively low cost.

We are looking forward to the challenges presented by the markets of Russia and the CIS

countries. And we are convinced that with the above-mentioned approaches, support from

Mülheim, the efforts of our local team, our on going efforts in transferring know-how to the

market and, especially, our focus on increasing customer satisfaction, we will be able to

successfully tap the market potential in these countries by developing the enthusiasm for

waterless printing technology.

If you have any questions or need additional information, or if you would like some (non-bind-

ing) advice on the potential of introducing waterless printing technology in your plants in

Russia and CIS countries, please consult our Russian language website or contact Mr Maxim

Gelmann, who fluently speaks German, English and Russian.

marks-3zet presents the next generation of self-adhesive underpacking foils:

high performance plastics

biological special glue

PET- interlayer

for metals optimized glue

basic-paper

For commercial printing or for high-speed web offset presses, this new foil can be used

under the printing plate and under the rubber blanket, or underneath the transfer cylinder.

This foil is subjected to large mechanical forces as well as chemical influences in the print-

ing machine. To be able to ensure an optimal performance and operating life, we have there-

fore developed an innovative structure. With most of the commercially available systems, the

plastic is covered with glue. That means that a compromise must be made between a strong

adhesion of the plastic and an easy detachability from the plate cylinder. An optimal result

cannot be achieved this way.

marks-3zet is exploring innovative paths in this regard. A new underpacking base is created

by an interim layer, which is covered with strongly adhesive glue towards the foil and an ad-

hesive, but easily dissoluble glue on the side to be mounted on the cylinder. In this way we do

not have to make any compromises.

The advantages of such a multi-layered structure are the high dimensional stability and the

resistance to detergents and humidifying agents. This new foil is easily recognised by the

new marks-3zet logo on the cover paper.

After four years in the planning and realisation phase, the media company Al Nisr in Dubai,

which is well known in the newspaper industry throughout the Middle East, now prints its

renowned Gulf News and other high-quality media products using waterless offset printing

technology on a KBA Cortina press.

A special challenge was in fulfilling the technical pioneering role of Al Nisr Publishing LLC in

the United Emirates, which had opted to buy the prepress technologies developed in Europe

by marks-3zet, Nela and Kodak.

High quality and enormous production reliability

A timely and qualitatively appropriate installation of plates for the KBA Cortina hybrid press

(Coldset/Heatset) must be ensured, which is a precondition for a continuous availability dur-

ing daily operations of the automated web offset press. The high esteem that Al Nisr has for

German Engineering is what led to its decision for a complete and turnkey pre-press solution

from Germany. Digital page layouts are sent from the publishing house in the centre of Dubai

for processing market-leader silicone plates from Toray.

The new prepress department has to reliably handle up to 825 Toray TAC plates with print-

ready images each hour, which is carried out on three high-speed MWP 850 processors from

marks-3zet. After this, two in-line HS-VCP units from Nela handle the alignment, cutting,

punching and edging, after which the printed pages are automatically stacked in a 30-slot

two-tiered sorting line.

The implementation of these ready-to-use pre-press concepts included: • Preparation of customer requirements specifications • Coordination of the spatial planning • Planning supply connections and accommodations • Interface design, including workflow and peripherals

Special solutions for special expectations

Fulfilment of the extensive expectations of the customer was based upon a requirements

analysis and a prioritisation of the demands made by Al Nisr Publishing. In this highly inte-

grated production of a newspaper, numerous new and some existing components of different

manufacturers had to be combined into an optimally automated overall concept.

In the future, marks-3zet will continue to make these core competencies available through

Mr Hans-Heinrich Benecke and Mr Jochen Gläser of marks.graphics, and will expand these

in cooperation with the Engineering Department. Also quality management solutions, train-

ing courses in the area of waterless printing, as well as quality measuring systems for the

purchase of inks, paper and other consumables, will be included.

Pioneering spirit has a long tradition at Al Nisr Publishing

With the commissioning of the new printing plant, this progressive media company has pre-

pared the way for waterless offset printing technologies from Europe to the Middle East,

once more proving how indispensable a pioneering spirit is for the newspaper industry. The

Managing Director, Obaid Humaid Al Tayer, is very pleased with the performance and print-

ing results in his new high-tech plant, with special emphasis on the overall high quality that

has been achieved.

The highest redundancy and

maximum quality are ensured

through proven plate

The sharpness of details and high colour brilliance are anyway high, in waterless offset

printing with the Cortina, which has recently been shown by the excellent ranking of seven

European Cortina users in the International Newspaper Colour Quality Club 2012–2014. The

immense process stability, which is largely due to the Toray TAC technology, had a substan-

tial share in this success.

quality of the plates.

Successful media group in the Arab Emirates

Gulf News, which began in 1978 as a tabloid newspaper and 3,000 printed copies each day,

was converted into a broadsheet format in the 80s. This English-language newspaper, which,

besides the United Arab Emirates, is also distributed in Bahrain, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Qatar

and Pakistan, is published seven times each week with a daily print run of 120,000 copies.

This print product with its modern layout was supplemented in 1996 with an online edi-

tion (www.gulfnews.com). Besides the publication of such magazines as Friday, InsideOut,

Aquarius, Alpha, Wheels, Scene and the weekly tabloid newspaper Xpress, this media group

is also strongly engaged in the cultural and sports sectors and the broadcasting industry,

where it runs two English-speaking broadcasting stations.

• The new thermal CTP plate for printing newspapers • Excellent for print runs of up to 300,000 copies

TAC MX-10

The new Toray TAC MX-10 is based on the patented waterless printing technology of Toray.

The TAC MX-10 plate is the result of a consequent development of the MX-7 plate and is

designed for the production of digital newspaper printing plates. Especially important in this

development was a further expansion of print-run length. This was primarily achieved by

increasing the thickness of the silicone rubber layer by 0.5 µm. A recalibration of the plate-

setter is usually not necessary, so that plates can continue to be processed with MX-7 set-

tings. With the MX-10, the effect of thermal energy “cracks” (breaks down) the long-chained

silicone rubber molecules, exposing the layer that carries the printing ink by washing out

with water.

Technical data:

Type: Negative thermal printing plate for laser imaging at a wave-

length of 830 nm (805–845 nm)

Plate base: Aluminium 0.30 mm

TAC MX-10

Printing plate cross-section:

Imaging:

The Toray TAC MX-10 is a negative thermal printing plate that does not require preheating.

The print image is created through irradiation with an infrared laser at a wavelength of 830

nm, whereby the emulsion of the printing plate is exposed to the effect of thermal energy.

The IR sensitive agent in the exposure layer absorbs the heat, which leads to dissolution

of the silicone rubber so that it only adheres loosely to the polymer printing layer, thereby

forming the print image.

The nominal sensitivity of the TAC MX-10 plate is 150 mJ/scm. This value is, however, de-

pendent on the type and quality of the utilised laser.

TAC MX-10 can be imaged with almost all thermal platesetters that are available on the

market.

Since the TAC MX-10 works non-ablative, no dust exhaust system is required in the plate-

setters.

“The TAC MX-10 is a consequent continuation of the development of the proven MX-7 plate for digital newspaper printing plate production. Especially important in this development was a further expansion of print-run length.”

Simple development:

The TAC MX-10 uses a purely physical development process, which means that the devel-

opment does not have any influence on the imaged surfaces. The especially mild activator

serves only as a support for the dissolution process that affects the silicone rubber.

The combination of an extremely low consumption of chemicals, without conservation and

regeneration, means that this system offers economical and ecological advantages to the

user. The real benefit for users, however, lies in the absolute reliability of the system – it is

robust and uncritical with regard to imaging and development.

The very high processing speed and the lack of a preheating stage ensure a quick re-imaging

of the printing plates, resulting in the reduction of downtimes. Moreover, the premium

quality ensures that usable prints are being produced after only a very short time and with

minimum of wastage.

Conservation:

Conserving the TAC MX-10 printing plate is generally not necessary. In case of longer dwell

times between plate production and printing process (approx. over 3 days) as well as for

archiving TAC MX-10 we recommend using our conserving agent CS-1 to maintain the good

ink receptivity of the printing layer.

Baking

Since TAC MX-10 is resistant to UV printing inks as well as UV washing agents, the printing

plate does not need to be baked. Baking will not increase the print-run length.

18

19

“The real benefit for users, however, lies in the absolute reliability of the system – it is robust and uncritical with regard

to imaging and development.”

Print-run length:

The maximum run length that can be achieved with a TAC MX-10 is primarily determined by

the plate processing. If the activator does not exceed a certain threshold value, the indicated

print-run length stability is achieved with TAC.

The print-run length performance with this plate is strongly related to its excellent chemical

resistance; however, it is nevertheless sensitive to mechanical abrasion.

Mechanical abrasion and wear-and-tear can be caused by a number of different factors,

which, as a consequence, can lead to a reduction of the print-run length. These contributing

factors are:

• The type of substrate

• The type of printing machine

• Printing conditions (cylinder pressure, covering layer, rubber blanket, etc.)

• Spraying powder, used to prevent print set-off

• Printing ink

• Printing speed

• Etc.

One of the hot topics in the rumour mill of the newspaper printing industry concerns the energy costs of the compact web offset printing press Cortina, which is manufactured by Koenig & Bauer AG (KBA).

No additional energy expenditures

PRINT: Mr Tietz, how does the Rheinisch-Bergische Druckerei GmbH & Co. KG monitor the

efficiency of its KBA Cortina printing line, with regard to energy and water consumption?

Matthias Tietz: It was particularly important to us from the beginning to be able to talk about

the energy efficiency of the printing plant. In our printing centre in Heerdt, and with its build-

ing infrastructure, we provide CTP, printing and distribution services that conform to the am-

bient conditions required by our suppliers. For traditional printing technology, electric power

and cooling energy is required for the motors. The machines generate heat, so that cooling

and heating technology is also required in the building. Both of these jointly determine the

final energy consumption in the printing hall. In addition, the Cortina requires quickly avail-

able heating and cooling energy for the waterless printing process, which had usually been

provided with separate heating and cooling technology – basically a separate infrastructure

that came on top of the technology available for the building and the machines. While nego-

tiating this order, we demanded that KBA and Graphic Engineering eliminate this additional

energy, which was unnecessary from our point of view, by linking the available infrastructure

components of the building with the printing machine. This would mean that the additional

cooling performance required by the process could be provided on an energy-neutral basis.

Since the additional heating capacity was usually only required when starting up production,

we continued to use a direct electrical connection to „water boilers“. The feasibility analysis

for this requirement was decisive for making a purchase decision, since we would gain a

better quality in waterless offset printing this way, including clearly lower, overall energy

costs in comparison to our KBA Commander (construction year 2000). Also important for us

was that, in comparison to the offset technology available in the year 2010 – for instance with

a KBA Commander CT –, the total energy costs of the plant and the building did not increase

sharply with the Cortina. The overall comparison, which was prepared by Graphic Engineer-

ing and included both the building and the equipment infrastructure of a Commander 9

Satellit (construction year 2000), between a Commander CT and a Cortina press, was able

to verify the technical concept for the Cortina as described above. Our first experience with

the KBA Cortina, which has been installed since the middle of 2010, fortunately confirms the

conception and economic assumptions.

operations of a printing machine using waterless technology?

Tietz: KBA and Graphic Engineering jointly developed a concept with the planning office for

building infrastructure, whereby a separate supply of cooling energy was made unnecessary

through integration in the infrastructure concept. This means that additional energy con-

sumption has been reduced to practically zero and that the investment volume in the building

infrastructure was reduced. On the Cortina itself, small storage units have remained near

to the supply points from the building infrastructure, which can be used if the equipment or

the process demands more. In addition, the building infrastructure that dated from the year

2000 was expanded for the new equipment and added building section. A new, overall energy

concept was developed and implemented in this regard. Important here was a precise align-

ment of requirements and availability, which was achieved amazingly well. The developed

conception for the operation of the Cortina was implemented after a short adjustment phase,

and it has been functioning error-free until today.

PRINT: Your company uses a number of different machine types, which means you are ex-

cellently positioned to compare them. How do you rank the KBA Cortina web press in your

in-house comparison, with regard to energy efficiency and overall annual costs?

Tietz: Graphic Engineering (GE), under the management of Klaus Steupert, was given the

assignment by us at the end of 2010 to study the energy situation of our KBA Cortina and the

KBA Commander 9 Satellit, on the basis of comprehensive actually measured RBD values

for the equipment and the building infrastructure.

This data was also compared with the KBA Commander CT data, which was available to GE

from other projects. The comparison included the annual electricity requirements of the

printing plant, the annual maintenance costs of the supply technology and total annual costs

of the required supply media and an amortisation of the supply infrastructure over 15 years.

Together this leads to total costs for supply technology, expressed in Euros/year, which now

makes a comparison of each of the 32-page printing sections possible. If we look at this

comparison of total costs, then we see the following picture: 100% of total costs for the sup-

ply technology of the Cortina compared to 102% total costs for Commander CT, or 150% of

total costs of the Commander 9 Satellit. That means that the Cortina, in comparison to tra-

ditional printing technology and the Commander 9 Satellit, has clear cost advantages, when

the required building infrastructure is available and is equivalent to the modern compact off-

set technology, for instance the Commander CT, from an energy consumption point of view.

In this review of total costs, GE also compared the 48-page machine units with one another.

„Only a salesman who is capable of including and correctly evaluating the ambient conditions of the building in the sales dialogue will be able to present the operating cost situation comprehensively for the customer, and in a way that is relevant to making a decision.”

This shows the following picture: 100% of total costs for the supply technology of the Cortina

vs. 99% of total costs for the Commander CT, or 148% of total costs vs. the Commander

9 Satellit. Here the picture moved slightly in favour of the Commander CT, but the following is

clear from an overall point of view: When the building and the equipment is integrated in an

overall concept, then the KBA Cortina is not the energy guzzler it is often called on the mar-

ket, instead it is energetically equivalent to modern offset printing equipment. And, as has

been previously mentioned, this is true at a much higher printing quality. We will also gladly

take a more in-depth look and differentiate according to the necessary investment costs for

the supply technology, as well as by operational costs per year. If we first take a look at the

investment requirements for the supply technology, then a clear advantage can be seen for

the Cortina: 100% investment required for supply technology vs. 149% for the Commander

CT, or 215% in comparison to the Commander 9 Satellit. As a last step, let us compare the

annual operating costs, namely the annual energy costs for the printing machine, plus costs

for the ventilation equipment, cooling equipment, cooling unit for the humidifier (not needed

for Cortina), cooling for the inking unit (not required for the Cortina), cylinder cooling (only

required for Cortina), motor cooling, pressurised air unit and humidifier unit (not required

for Cortina). This comes to 100% for consumption media in the Cortina, as compared to 90%

for the Commander CT and 134% for the Commander 9 Satellit. A clear downward jump in

costs can be seen for the printing technology from 2010, in comparison to the technology

from 2000. However, if one looks at the detailed costs, a clear cost advantage can be seen

for the Commander CT. However, only this comparison for the investments is unfortunately

referenced most of the time. The previous explanations however clearly show that, to put it

bluntly, wishful thinking is used with regard to many investments. Surely we should also note

that this result is our RBD result.

This explanations shows that much depends on the concept of the building infrastructure,

such as for instance whether one works with a block-type thermal power station (BTTP) or

not etc. The core of the message is:

The investment plans, regardless of whether they concern a Cortina or conventional printing

technology, must take the entire costs for building infrastructure and the supply costs into

account. In summary this means that the concept we realised, namely linking the technol-

ogy of the Cortina with the building infrastructure, is having a deep effect and is turning at

many of the previous assumptions upside down. Furthermore, this result is a big challenge

for equipment suppliers. Only those salesmen, who are capable of including and correctly

evaluating the ambient conditions of the building in the sales dialogue, will be able to present

the operating cost situation comprehensively for the customer, and in a way that is relevant

for making a decision.

PRINT: Regarding these measures, do you still see further potential, or have the possibilities

been exhausted?

Tietz: A number of other investments were connected with the Cortina project in 2010, in-

cluding new building sections and equipment technology, processing technology, high-rack

warehousing technologies etc. This chapter will now be closed at the end of the 1st quarter

of 2012. Then we will surely have the time to fine-tune the efficiency analysis and, above all,

to draw conclusions about further modifications that may be required. So let us wait until

these steps have been concluded. Purely on the basis of feeling, I am sure there are further

opportunities in daily operations, but we have learned one thing above all: „Every new invest-

ment must be based on a sufficient review of the overall situation!“

PRINT: Mr Tietz, we thank you for this interview.

marks-3zet has been successfully selling the printing inks of Classic Colours for a num-

ber of years, offering every waterless printer a product that is perfectly suited for the Toray

printing plate. The emphasis is however not only on sales – further development is another

high priority. Here, marks-3zet supports this English manufacturer of inks with research and

development activities, including numerous practical tests in our Waterless Printing Centre.

A lot has happened in the area of printing inks during the past months. Here is an update for

you to keep track of all novelties:

Classic Colours Nevada PC

Application areas: Plastic cards (lamination) / plastics

This type of ink was especially developed for UV card printing, whereby PC stands for “Plastic

Cards”. The ink is free of silicones and can therefore be used for laminations. Especially on

printing machines with short inking units, a stable printout of the highest quality with max-

imum adhesion is achieved. Tests in practice have also shown that this ink is excellent for

printing on uncoated papers.

This ink type is relatively new and has been on the market a little longer than a year. The

formulation has been continuously improved and currently finds itself in the 8th development

phase (MK8). The indication ‚MKx‘ has disappeared on the labels since the 7th phase – today

one only speaks of Nevada PC.

Classic Colours

„These inks are excellent for use with normal inking units and with short inking units […].“

Classic Colours Sahara PS

Application areas: Paper / plastics

This series is designed for printing on coated or uncoated papers, as well as on plastics that

do not have to be laminated. The ink contains a small share of silicone and is (like the ink

Nevada PC) perfectly suited for short inking unit presses, such as the Genius 52UV. As with

LF7 (only yellow and magenta), this consists of a special light resistant version of Sahara PS.

Sahara PS Yellow BW = 5–6 2,5 kg

Sahara PS Magenta BW = 4–5 2,5 kg

Sahara PS Cyan BW = 7–8 2,5 kg

Sahara PS Schwarz BW = 7–8 2,5 kg

Classic Colours Nevada LA

Application areas: Label paper / plastic labels

This product series was specially developed for label printing (LA = label). These inks are ex-

cellent for processing with normal inking units and also with short inking units on web offset

presses. The special formulation makes problem-free processing possible (for instance with

hot foil embossing) and fulfils the special requirements of label printers.

As a part of our ongoing product development, we have continued to improve the formulation

for PC-neutral. The result is a high quality product with an increased cleaning performance,

for a still more effective cleaning of printing plates. Customers, who have tested this new

formulation for us in advance confirm the same.

The increased performance has not led to any changes in handling. The new PC-neutral is

still 100% environmentally friendly and easy to dispose of. If you have not yet used PC-neutral

and would like to, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.

An overview of PC-neutral:

PC-neutral is the all-round cleaning agent from marks-3zet. Especially developed as a print-

ing plate cleaning agent for you, this product is biologically degradable and ideal for cleaning

UV inks, since it does not re-grease the plate. Due to its strong cleaning power and its en-

vironmentally friendly characteristics, PC-neutral can also be used for general operational

and housekeeping contaminations, making it a truly all-round cleaning agent.

„Ordering parties for print products are exceedingly heterogeneous. This makes the availability of a standard such as PSO a mandatory requirement.“

Process optimisation and quality assurance for successful print production

marks-3zet has been certified according to the standard ISO 12647-2 and the Process Stand-

ard for Offset printing (PSO) since December 2011, and it cooperates as a partner with LIV-

ING PSO! Print Quality Concept – the quality management according to the Process Standard

for Offset printing.

The trend is towards increasingly smaller print runs. For many print service providers, in-

creasing machine speeds is therefore not a suitable means for meeting competition. Instead,

it is better to get optimised production from existing capacities. This has the advantage of

realising productivity potentials at relatively low investment expenditures.

Costs arise primarily in two areas: Training and consulting. Usually it is also advisable to

make additional investments in quality management. A better planning of working processes

and a better integration of existing procedures, require a precise analysis and a critical inves-

tigation of the present situation. The main point here is to trace those places in the working

process, which function as bottlenecks in the overall process. These can include machines

or individual working areas, whose production speed is lower than the downstream pro-

cesses. After their identification, solutions must be found by which these processes can be

optimised. Depending on the cause of the problem, this can include the purchase of addi-

tional machines, which leads to an increase in personnel and their advanced training, or an

optimisation of transport paths.

Standardisation

Only standardised processes can be optimised processes. Service providers do not exist in

a vacuum. Their services stand rather far at the end of a long process chain, into which they

must integrate themselves seamlessly. The ordering parties, too, must be able to survive in a

competitive environment and have to rely on an optimisation of their processes. The standard

ISO 12647 (processing standard for offset printing) must be mentioned in this regard, just

as much as the capacity to process data from various databases and using such diverse file

formats such as PDF and JDF.

Standardised processes offer clear orientation guidelines, which ensure that the number

of errors can be reduced. An additional advantage is an improved reprintability of the print

products. This is a decisive factor for ordering parties, not just as part of a reduction in ware-

housing costs, but also for „just in time“ production. It should also not be overlooked that,

due to the Internet, companies and their customers have gotten used to very short time-to-

Process optimisation and quality assurance for successful print production

„The objective of certification measures is the delivery of reliable quality and reproducible results. This not only leads to a reduction of errors,

it also reduces costs to a substantial degree.“

market response times, which means that the half-life of most content has correspondingly

been reduced to a minimum. Furthermore, market transparency is forcing companies to

react very quickly to changing market situations. This is, however, only applicable in the

printing industry, when print products can be reliably delivered in the required quality.

The commercial importance of misprints

Wastepaper and complaints reduce the profits of print service providers, who already have to

battle with small margins. Even at an assumed profit of ten percent, and with a wastepaper

rate of only two percent, a company that has an annual turnover of 3 million Euros would

lose 60,000 Euros on such misprints. This corresponds to approximately twenty percent of

the profit. A higher misprint rate or a lower profit margin would only increase the losses.

A predictable production, including a reliable repeatability of the print results for subsequent

print runs, is required for reducing complaints. This enables a better planning of logistical

processes for the customer on the one hand and, on the other hand, the entire handling

comfort and satisfaction will be increased for both the service provider and the customer,

which generates customer loyalty.

Optimisation of the entire process chain, from prepress over CTP and all the way to printing,

including a reduction of misprints, is therefore one of the highly important points for ena-

bling sensible cost control and being able to face competition.

The requirements of customers/ordering parties

The qualification of ordering parties for print products is exceedingly heterogeneous. It

reaches from perfectly trained print professionals and media producers to creative people,

sellers of brand-name products and industrial purchasers etc. This makes the availability of

a standard such as PSO a mandatory requirement. Its communication and availability in all

industrially organised printing companies is just as important. That we are far from this goal

is shown by the fact that till the present moment, only 400 printing companies in Germany

have been certified.

31

„The new Living PSO! concept combines training, consultation and award-winning software into a need- and practice-oriented concept for avoiding errors, while ensuring production control and quality assurance in the production of print products.“

While many of the certified printing companies use standardised processes, the number of

companies that do not is sufficient for reducing the value of such a certification, in commu-

nications with customers.

That is why it must be taken into account in everyday practice that various requirements and

courses of action in conformity with PSO do not fulfil the quality requirements of the ordering

party. An additional complication is that, the type of paper that was used for defining PSO val-

ues has become outdated, since such papers are hardly produced anymore.

The task for the future therefore appears to be able to implement the approach of standardisa-

tion in everyday practice, so that all purchasers of print products can rely on the standard and

an ideal industrial printing quality would be ensured.

If this can be achieved, then Germany will gain in attractiveness for print buyers. Quality made

in Germany will then once more become a USP (Unique Selling Proposition).

Living quality – with LIVING PSO!

The usefulness of the Process Standard for Offset, and other ISO certifications concerning

management and process control, does not end at the moment that the certificate is hung

on the wall. Quite to the contrary: The objective of certification measures is the provision of

reliable quality and reproducible results. This not only leads to a reduction of errors, it also

reduces costs to a substantial degree. Furthermore, this makes a sustainable improvement

in the provision of service and an optimisation of customer loyalty possible.

To be able to reach this goal, it is necessary that the lessons learned from the certifica-

tion process are implemented in everyday practice. Support in this regard is offered by the

new Living PSO! concept of IPM Müller und Resing GmbH. It combines training, consulting

and award-winning software into a need- and practice-oriented concept for avoiding errors,

while ensuring production control and quality assurance in the production of print products.

One of the three pillars on which this concept is based is the PrintProzessControl software,

which has been awarded the innovation prize of the German printing industry. This program

generates additional monitoring and control possibilities along with the entire process chain.

A need-oriented and advanced qualification of employees, as well as the introduction and

surveillance of standardised production processes, which are based on the industry standard

ISO 12647, are the other two pillars.

32

33


„Quality made in Germany will then once more become a USP (Unique Selling Proposition),

which is the only way meeting competition from foreign discounters.“

Living PSO! therefore ensures that production continues to run at a high level, remains

transparent and can be monitored continuously. Through regular external control, print ser-

vice providers are given new and believable arguments with regard to their customers, which

also clearly differentiating themselves from the competition.

10 good reasons for LIVING PSO!

• Fewer complaints, thanks to a uniformly high quality standard that is always traceable

through measurements.

• Increase in competence of your employees, by means of LIVING PSO! workshops, semi-

nars and training courses.

• Equivalent, high quality print results for repeat orders.

• Optimally adjusted basic settings of your programs, output equipment and printing machines.

• Substantial reduction of correction efforts, downtimes and unnecessary resource expendi-

tures and set up times.

• More efficient working procedures, due to precisely defined responsibilities and interfaces.

• Reduced adjustment times, more flexibility and a more reliable adherence to delivery

times

• A team of highly qualified experts, which is available to you for consultations and imple-

mentations in practice.

• High quality standards and certification, which increase the image of the company, im-

proving customer acquisition and loyalty.

• ... and with that the competitiveness of your company.

Second release

Optotec One 1100

In its second product release, the innovative 8-page CTP imagesetter „One 1100“ has been

developed further. With this release, the unit has become still faster, more precise and us-

er-friendly. In addition, the product portfolio has been supplemented with a new compact

4-page CTP system and an autoloader feature, which is optionally available for mono-cas-

settes.

Overview of the new key features:

New laser module software

The new laser head (One ILH) now works still more precisely, with new software that makes

2,540 or 7,620 dpi possible. With the corresponding high-resolution software, which is avail-

able as an option, the resolution can now even be increased by a factor of three (previously

only double), while the cross-section of the laser dot remains the same.

A real 7,620 dpi laser is also available, which has a dot size of only 4 µm. With this laser, the

edges of positive and negative images can be reproduced are more finely and sharply.

Drive technology

New drum motors make higher speeds possible, as well as digital drive control. Further-

more, the new drive technology makes quicker braking of the drum unit possible, which, in

combination with a quicker acceleration, contributes to a still higher plate output.

New cooling system

The new, compact thermoelectric cooling system (OneTEC) not only saves space but also en-

ergy. In addition, the new cooler is clearly more silent and efficient than the previous model.

Power supply

This second release is now provided with a 200–240 VAC power supply; 3-phase alternating

current (400 V) is no longer required for operations. The entire electrical system has been

simplified, which has saved quite some space.

35

energy and space

Hardware control

In the second release, all physical elements, such as the encoder, the spindle and the mo-

tors, can be fully configured. That means that every type of addressed resolution can be set

up to 10,000 dpi (in single dpi steps). With that, the resolution is now only dependent on the

laser head or the software.

• New 4-page CTP system • More user-friendly and more cost-effective

Optotec One 750

A new, compact and reasonably priced 4-page machine is now available in our product range.

This highly compact machine consists exclusively of components of the second release and

offers a maximum of user-friendliness.

This system processes plates up to a maximum format of 750 mm x 660 mm and thicknesses

of between 0.15 and 0.40 mm. It is operated via a touchscreen and, due to the latest version

of One Image, it has become still simpler and clearer in handling. As with all other systems,

the One RIP software module is delivered free of charge with every delivered system.

Two high-resolution options are also made available for the 4-page machine. Either a soft-

ware-based option that can be switched between 2540 and 7620 dpi, or a fixed 7620 dpi op-

tion provided by a special laser module. As an exclusive offer and on request, free-of-charge

delivery of the software option is made to waterless printing companies.

This system can be automated with an optionally available One Mono-Cassette Autoloader.
