Arab Printing Press modernises its printing options

Arab Printing Press (APP) in the industrial city of Sid El Bauchrieh near Beirut has been using Koenig & Bauer technology for decades. At the beginning of 2019, another press joined the growing list – a Rapida 106 with four printing units, inline coater, extended delivery and a perfecting unit for 2/2 production. Given the positive experience with the predecessor press, an eight-colour Rapida 106 for 4-over-4 perfecting installed in 2014, and in particular the extremely efficient and cost-effective production enjoyed ever since, it was only logical that the company chose this high-performance medium-format press again.

Al Bony goes again with Canon Digital Press to drive the business

Al Bony Printing Press invests in Canon imagePress C8000VP from Dynagraph.

Speaking about the investment, Babu Varghese, managing director, Al Bony Printing Press, Sharjah, said, “Since our inception in 1996, we were focusing only in commercial jobs which was going very good until the raise of the digital requirement. In early 2000, the demand for digital jobs started to shake the industry. However, we took our own time on the digital expansion and purchased our first Canon digital machine imagePress c850. Irrespective of the size, the machine was doing wonders for us. Over a period of time, we started to get more orders and couldn’t accommodate all the jobs with the existing machine. So we again analyzed the market and decided to go with Canon but this time with bigger machine Canon imagePress C8000VP.”
