The KBA Rapida 105 is the high-speed, highly automated representative of the B1 format — built for high-volume commercial and packaging print. Used units vary widely in condition, so focus on speed and inline configuration.
- Speed & output: the Rapida 105 is rated up to 18,000 sph — watch the realistic stable speed and acceleration.
- Cylinders & inking: check impression-cylinder and roller wear, plus the condition of any inline coating/drying units.
- Console: the console generation sets the automation level — read fault logs to rule out hidden faults.
- Inline config: coating, drying or die-cutting inline greatly affects as-delivered value.
How to value inline options
Factory inline coating or drying is cheaper than retrofitting later, but only if those units are in good working order.
Wear parts to inspect
Blankets, plate clamps, ink and dampening rollers wear faster on high-speed presses — verify them on site.
Print test & freight
Run a sample to judge registration and ink at speed, and confirm rigging plans for the large-format teardown.
Conclusion: The Rapida 105 suits high-throughput commercial and packaging plants; it's an efficient choice whenever speed and inline units are healthy. View our available Rapida 105 unit or browse the full used press inventory to compare.
