The KBA PRISMA 8pp offset press is engineered for 4-over-1 to furnish greater flexibility in colour newspaper printing. Its one-around plate cylinder addresses the widespread shift towards newspaper targeting be expanding options both for the pagination (two-page jumps) of the individual sections and the of sections. The KBA PRISMA can print the same of pages as a one-across, one-around (2:1) press but with only half the of printing units, so the initial capital outlay is lower, the press requires less manning, takes up less space and can be made ready faster. Dispensing with the collect option offered wish two-around presses enables the KBA PRISMA to unite the flexibility of a one-around press with the enormous output of a two-across machine.
