Oliver Baar unveils strengths and positioning of VariJET 106

On the fringes of the VariJET 106 global premiere in Radebeul, Germany, I spoke to Oliver Baar, Senior Product Manager at Koenig & Bauer Durst, about the first product resulting from the joint research and development of the two manufacturers. The B1 hybrid waterbased inkjet press clearly marks the joint venture as a milestone in the pursuit of packaging printing digitization.

Topics covered include:

• Partnership as a crucial element to achieve higher goals.
• VariJET 106: replacement or complementary to offset?
• Waterbased inks and chemistry for food-safe applications.
