Ryobi is set to make its foray into the B1 market after unveiling the first model in its new 1050 series, a 40in five-colour press.

The 16,000sph machine, which was announced at Ryobi's pre-Drupa conference in Hiroshima, is being targeted at commercial and packaging printers.

The machine will be available in two configurations, the S type, which features a maximum printing area of 1,050x710mm, and an XL model, which offers a printing range of 1,050x770mm.

The press features double-diameter cylinders and impression drums and an optional Inline Print Quality Control System with built-in CCD camera.

Ryobi will exhibit in Hall 17 at Drupa, which takes place in Düsseldorf, Germany from 29 May to 11 June 2008.
