RMGT Sheetfed Offset Presses

Japanese Precision in Every Sheet — RMGT Offset Presses Engineered in Hiroshima

RMGT (Ryobi MHI Graphic Technology) builds B3, B2 and B1 sheetfed offset presses with LED-UV curing and Smart RMGT automated makeready — engineered for commercial, folding-carton and specialty print producers who need verifiable color register, measured uptime and lifetime parts support.

Engineering Advantages

Six Engineering Disciplines That Define an RMGT Press

Every RMGT press is built around six engineering commitments that have been refined across generations of Hiroshima-built sheetfed offset machinery. No marketing superlatives — just the mechanical, electrical and workflow decisions that measurably affect your sheet quality and your maintenance burden.

01

Micron-Level Color Register

Plate-cylinder and blanket-cylinder geometry machined to tight tolerances, supported by closed-loop register control and automated ink-key presetting for verifiable Delta-E color stability across the run.

02

LED-UV Instant Curing

Integrated LED-UV drying lets the printed sheet ship to downstream finishing immediately — no aqueous coating tower, no anti-set-off spray, and a materially lower energy profile than hot-air IR.

03

Smart RMGT Makeready

Plate changing, roller washup, blanket cleaning and ink-key presetting execute concurrently under the Smart RMGT controller — compressing job changeovers to help short-run commercial work reach positive margin.

04

75 Years of Press-Building Craft

Frames, cylinders and gear trains are machined and assembled in our Hiroshima plant under a continuous kaizen discipline. Long-cycle durability is designed in at the casting stage, not retro-fitted.

05

Global Service & Parts Network

Regional field engineers and genuine-parts depots across North America, Europe, Southeast Asia and Latin America, supported by remote diagnostics and scheduled preventive-maintenance programs.

06

Measurable Print Sustainability

LED-UV curing lowers kilowatt-hour draw versus conventional IR; automated wash systems reduce solvent consumption; and Smart RMGT waste reduction supports your customers' ESG reporting.

The RMGT Press Portfolio

Three Sheet Formats. One Engineering Doctrine.

The 750, 920 and 1050 series share a common mechanical philosophy — same register control discipline, same Smart RMGT makeready logic — sized for different commercial production envelopes.

Press Technology Overview

The Mechanical and Digital Architecture Behind an RMGT Sheet

An RMGT press is the sum of nine engineering subsystems — each one measurable, each one serviceable, each one documented in the technical manual. Below are the six that most directly affect your sheet quality and your makeready time.

Subsystem 01

Cylinder Geometry

Plate, blanket and impression cylinders are ground to tight concentricity and hardness; bearer-to-bearer contact is verified during assembly before the press ships.

Subsystem 02

Ink-Key Automation

Ink-key presetting is driven from pre-press CIP3/CIP4 data; inline ink density feedback adjusts keys during the run, shrinking Delta-E variation from first sheet to last.

Subsystem 03

LED-UV Curing

Near-365 nm LED-UV arrays cure UV-curable inks and coatings instantly, eliminating the aqueous coating step and the hot-air IR energy load.

Subsystem 04

Smart RMGT Control

A unified press controller orchestrates plate changes, roller washup and blanket cleaning concurrently — documented step sequences, documented cycle times.

Subsystem 05

Sheet Transport

Gripper-to-gripper sheet transfer with non-stop feeder and delivery options. Vacuum-tape transfer in the delivery protects the freshly printed sheet on LED-UV stocks.

Subsystem 06

Workflow Integration

CIP3/CIP4 JDF, Prinect, Prinergy and Esko pre-press integration. Production data exports to MIS/MES for OEE tracking and operator-shift reporting.

Applications We Serve

Where RMGT Presses Run

Commercial Print

Catalogues, direct mail, corporate marketing collateral, annual reports — short- to medium-run colour work on coated and uncoated stocks.

Folding-Carton Packaging

Cosmetic, pharmaceutical and premium food cartons; inline coating and LED-UV for fast downstream die-cutting and gluing.

Specialty & Label

Wine, spirits and premium label work requiring heavy metallic inks, embossed varnishes and specialty substrates.

Publishing & Education

Textbook, trade book and periodical covers and interiors; perfector configurations for two-sided sheet production.

Sustainability Engineering

Measurable Print Sustainability — Not a Slogan

We treat sustainability the way we treat register control: as something you measure, document and iterate on. LED-UV curing replaces the hot-air IR drying load. Automated wash systems reduce solvent consumption. Smart RMGT makeready reduces make-ready sheet waste.

The result is a press that supports your customers' Scope 2 energy reporting and your own ISO 14001 management system — without asking you to accept performance compromises on the sheet.

  • LED-UV curing system vs conventional hot-air IR drying
  • Automated roller and blanket wash cycles reduce solvent use
  • Smart RMGT makeready shrinks waste-sheet count per changeover
  • ISO 14001 Environmental Management System certification

Workflow Ecosystem

Pre-Press and Colour-Workflow Compatibility

RMGT presses speak standard colour-workflow languages — CIP3/CIP4 JDF, Fogra PSO and G7 alignment, ICC colour management — so your pre-press investment carries forward.
