Martin Schoeps, head of service management for Koenig & Bauer Digital & Webfed: “Our goal was to realise the retrofit measures in such a way that the customer could continue to print all the required jobs every day. And thanks to the excellent cooperation with the technical departments at L´Imprimerie, that was achieved very successfully in every respect.” The press installation comprises a total of ten reelstands, ten triple-width printing towers and two double folders. Both Cortinas came on stream at a new facility near Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris at the end of 2008.
