Dutch printer Rodi Rotatiedruk, near Amsterdam, will install the press next summer. The three-tower press will have a 578mm cut-off and be able to produce 48pp broadsheet or 96pp tabloid.
As PrintWeek went to press, KBA was also about to sign a three-year deal with Sun Chemical to develop inks for the Cortina.
KBA director of marketing Klaus Schmidt said: They are like flexo inks, they are very clean and look bright on the paper. This is VOC-free production.
The firms will pool R&D resources and future products will be jointly owned.
KBA is also believed to be talking to Creo about a co-operation agreement for its thermal platesetters needed for waterless printing.
