This KBA 105-6LX is a used 6-color press — sometimes referred to as a six-color offset press or multicolor sheet-fed press — a type of commercial printing machine designed to lay down multiple ink colors in a single pass through the press, enabling high-quality, production-volume print work across packaging, commercial, and specialty printing applications. KBA, formally known as Koenig & Bauer, is one of the oldest and most respected press manufacturers in the world, producing sheet-fed and web-fed offset presses along with specialty printing equipment for industries ranging from commercial printing and packaging to security and industrial applications.
This 2019 machine is configured as the KBA RA 105+L with SPC (Simultaneous Plate Changer), a feature that allows all printing plates to be changed at the same time rather than sequentially, dramatically reducing makeready time and improving press efficiency on short- to medium-run work. It also includes Preset and an Ergotronic console, giving operators a centralized, ergonomic control interface for managing press functions and job changeovers with precision and repeatability.
The press is equipped with Vari dampening, a system that delivers consistent, controlled moisture to the printing plates for stable ink-water balance across the run. Three additional feature packages are included: the CX package, the Plastic Printing package, and the Scratch Reduction on Foils package — equipping this press for specialty and demanding substrate work beyond standard paper stocks, including plastic films and foil-based materials.
Automated washup is covered by both an automatic impression cylinder washer and an automatic blanket washer, reducing downtime between jobs and minimizing manual intervention during cleaning cycles. A coater unit with an anilox roll is fitted, allowing inline application of coatings — aqueous, UV, or specialty finishes — directly within the press run. Delivery is handled by an ALV2 extended delivery system, which provides additional control and gentler handling of printed sheets as they exit the press, particularly valuable when working with coated or sensitive substrates.
Ink roller temperature is managed by a Technotrans Beta C system, which circulates temperature-controlled fluid through the ink rollers to maintain consistent ink viscosity and color density throughout the run, regardless of press speed or ambient conditions. The machine is located in China and is offered in used condition.
