“…if digital printing is to move into the mainstream, it will have to prove that it is fully competitive with offset lithography in quality, speed, printable format size, and cost to print. According to [Yishai] Amir, just one process—the one he is responsible for bringing to market—can demonstrate all of these capabilities.”

Benny Landa drives fast. I think he is in a hurry to reach the future. We had been on a whirlwind visit to the several Landa facilities in Tel Aviv, Israel and we were heading to a secret lab buried in the bowels of a non-descript industrial building.

In Hall 9, Landa Group has doubled the size of its drupa stand to 3,000 square meters and will unveil a trio of new presses in Dusseldorf: The S10P is a 13,000-sheet-per-hour, 41-inch (B1 format) digital perfecting press for commercial print applications; the S10 sheetfed press is designed for folding carton and point-of-purchase (POP) work; and the W10 is a 656-fpm web-fed nanographic press (also 41-inch) for flexible packaging. The W10 prints up to eight colors on plastic packaging films, paper, carton board, and aluminum foil.

The overarching message we’re seeing is that Landa Group’s new machines can deliver the nirvana of digital printing—digital presses sporting offset quality printing on any paper stock at speeds that rival offset presses. This has never been attained, but now could actually be.

Exclusive Interview: Benny Landa says that the nanographic inkjet printing process he unveiled at drupa 2012 was a “promise.” At drupa 2016, he intends to deliver on that promise with live demonstrations of nanographic equipment….

"Never one to shy away from a big fight, Benny Landa, father of digital printing, is aiming to replace all offset printing with his revolutionary Landa Nanographic Printing Presses."

In an announcement that has been much anticipated, but some thought would never come to pass, the Landa Group has revealed that Drupa will see its Nanographic Printing Presses become commercially available.

“Success is not about money, it’s about making a difference”

Landa is pulling no punches at drupa this year with the announcement of its lineup of offset quality Nanographic Printing^® presses for the exhibition to include sheetfed presses running at 13,000 B1 sheets per hour as well as one meter-wide (41 in.) web presses printing on plastic packaging films.
