Director of marketing Klaus Schmidt said the firm had demonstrated a press printing four different jobs in 25 minutes. It went from labels for wine bottles to packaging for wine bottles, then to fluteboard, and finished with the production of a box file.

Substrates ranged from thin paper to 1.2mm-thick board, he added. One press was also linked to a Bobst die-cutting machine.

Over 100 customers from Italy were among the guests, with 19 countries in all represented.

KBA also showed a new ink family and imaging software under the Aniva brand, which Schmidt claimed would create "photo quality" print.
