The shortest makeready times. A ROLAND 700 DirectDrive press can reduce makeready time by up to 60 percent1 compared with a conventional sheetfed offset press. This is made possible by the interplay of a number of different technologies. Directly driven plate cylinders permit all printing plates to be changed simultaneously. Every printing unit is equipped with the fullyautomated plate changing system (APL®) that further simplifies the printer's work. The great advantage is that all plates can be changed in only one minute regardless of the press configuration. In effect no time at all is needed for plate changing (ZeroTimePlateChange). It takes place during the three to four minutes needed for simultaneous washing of the impression and blanket cylinders.
Electronic print length correction. This facility enables the operator to correct the print length during production which avoids time-consuming addition or removal of underpacking sheets in the printing unit concerned. Fast, easy and error-free from the control console.
Perfect ink distribution. The optimized number of rollers in the inking unit ensures that the balance between storage capacity and fast reaction is always maintained. This fast reaction makes remote inking control and remote adjustment of the oscillation start angle particularly effective.
Flat sheet travel. Trust: the modern principle of double-diameter impression cylinders and transferters provides gentle sheet travel for substrates up to 1 millimeter thick. But verify: the ROLAND InlineObserver* 1 enables the printer to monitor sheet travel and thus makes sure the settings are always optimal.
Precise register. In addition to the plate cylinder direct drive system, the press is driven by a longitudinal shaft and gear train 2 . Above all with long press configurations, this dual drive guarantees high printing quality and perfect register over the entire lifetime of the press. Smooth and gentle delivery. Even at high press speeds, the AirGlide delivery 3 produces perfectly even stacks, thanks to the particularly flat sheet ascent and long sheet stabilization path.

Fully-automated plate change (APL™). With the APL™ system, plate position control ensures that the plates are correctly mounted. This results in precise register from the first sheet and saves a lot of time.
Non-stop operation. With the non-stop feeder and delivery, piles are changed at production speed. This saves a great deal of time when running thick substrates in particular, and the non-stop equipment can be linked to AUPASYS, the world's leading automated pallet transport system. Besides that, the system can reduce start-up waste.
