昨天晚上，大约100位客人中的60位抵达拉德博伊尔。观看生产总是令人惊叹，但这次，部分场地被改造成了一个绝妙的场所，提供美食、饮品、音乐，当然还有社交。

现在，星期四早上，大约100名与会者已前往拉德博伊尔，观察和了解Rapida 76。通常，大型OEM会专注于他们最大的和最快的机器，但这次，Koenig & Bauer展示了半幅B2机器。

Rapida 76 是一台具有高灵活性的快速 B2 印刷机：每小时可印刷 18,000 张，可用于商业、标签和包装生产的多种配置。对于包装应用，Rapida 76 可以在不减速的情况下打印厚度达 1 毫米的纸板。今天展示的 Rapida 76 是一台带有物流解决方案的 7 色印刷机。

一如既往，演示效果非常出色，计划周详，当然，还展示了各种应用程序在受控环境下的表现。

星期二，11月18日，我们将发布一部来自荷兰Rutgers的影片，该影片使用了Rapida 76。由于我昨天有机会与他交谈，我对这项投资仍然感到非常满意。

After the presentations of the Rapida 76, three customers, Matthias Hermann from Schmidt & Buchta GmbH, Kurt Schergen from Druckhaus Wittich, and finally Oscar Pebermans from the Dutch packaging printer, Rutger. Very pleased customers, not only with the technology, but also with the service, and the collaboration in general. Thomas Göcke from Koenig & Bauer was an excellent moderator, and learning, check, loads of fun - check as well :-)

Besides the customers, Koenig & Bauer also invited a few speakers - on the photo above is Dr. Wolfgang Jeschke. He spoke about the three major pain points in the printing industry: revenue, gross margins, and costs. Interesting perspectives, but personally I didn't agree with him on most - but that's, of course, the reason for the book I am writing - but great to have different views.

Thomas Grübner from Elbe Leasing also gave a presentation. Though I didn't hear it, I would be surprised if it wasn't about financing and why Elbe Leasing is a serious finance partner in the German market.

The Rapida 76 event ended around 15.00, and the guests from Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Switzerland, and many more returned to the printing companies across Europe. Based on the numerous conversations and many questions, maybe soon another Rapida 76 will find a new home. Thanks for a great day!
