Available as options are the Simul Changer and Simul Changer Parallel, two automatic plate-changing systems that can change plates simultaneously on all printing units. The Simul Changer Parallel features a mechanism for independently driving the plate cylinder, enabling blanket cleaning to be carried out in parallel with plate changing, saving approximately 80 seconds in comparison with the Simul Changer.
By optimizing the cleaning cycle, the time required for blanket cleaning is reduced by approximately 20 seconds compared with previous models. Achieving high cleaning performance with shorter cleaning time saves make ready time for diversified small lot printing jobs requiring frequent blanket cleaning.
