It claims that DirectDrive, which is based on technology developed for its web presses, is an industry first.
It will be demonstrated on a MAN Roland 700 at Drupa and has been tested at a German customer.
MAN Roland claims the benefits of the technology include simultaneously changing all plates at once while washing-up. It also opens up the possibility of flying plate changes for different language black plates.
Commercial availability will be announced at the show.
Future developments could include a machine with DICO on-press imaging switching jobs without stopping.
