The KBA Rapida 106 – (6 color + Coater) is one of the most advanced sheetfed press available; Providing greater automation, in-line density control and adjustment, qualitronic color control with sheet scanning providing increased color control.
The KBA Rapida 106 – (5 color + Coater + Perfecting + Perforating) includes the same inline density and color controls along with some additional features: With a perfecting unit between units 2 and 3, we’re able to print two sides in one pass on any project with 2/3 colors or less!

Additionally, this press comes equipped with some great additional features:
- a special foil printing package
- the CX equipment for paperboard packaging

coatings
standard
We offer these standard offset coating options: Gloss, Satin and Matte and UV.
special
Special coatings include Soft Touch, No Curl Coating (for uncoated stoc) and Gloss Primer Coat, wax free and silicone free for foil stamping or laminating over.
soft touch
Soft Touch is a coating that, when applied, creates a velvety texture. The paper becomes "soft" to the touch and increases the tactile appeal. Soft Touch coating creates a softer look and feel on printed materials than either aqueous or UV coating, while creating a barrier which is fingerprint resistant.
no-curl coating for uncoated stock
Water is used in the offset printing process, and the process itself, especially with uncoated stock, is susceptible to paper curl. As the printed sheet dries, it can warp and edges can curl, rather than remaining perfectly flat. A no-curl coating reduces or eliminates this problem. We'll let you know if you need to consider it.
gloss primer coat
A gloss primer coat is a wax-free and silicone-free coating for a sheet that will subsequently undergo foil stamping or laminating .
