Finnish daily buys KBA Cortina

Finnish publisher Keski-Pohjanmaan Kirjapaino purchased a waterless Cortina press from Koenig & Bauer AG.
The 4-by-1 machine, to go into production next year, will be configured as four towers and two folders and sport a 22-inch cutoff. It’s capable of printing 150,000 32-page, full-color tabloids per hour. The machine will also be equipped with KBA’s PlateTronic automatic plate changers, RollerTronic automatic roller locks and NipTronic bearers.
Copies can be stitched, glued, perforated or scored after the quarterfold, KBA said.
KBA said the press is the 17th Cortina it’s sold since introducing the waterless machine in 2002.
