Rapid Response is the theme for Heidelberg UK’s open house at the National Showroom in Brentford from 10am to 5pm on 18 and 19 November.
Jim Todd, sales director, says, ‘The Heidelberg name is synonymous with colour quality, environmental excellence, productivity and value for money but we want to show printers just how responsive our equipment is, too. As run lengths shorten and turnaround times are slashed, rapid response is the daily culture of most printers.’
Visitors are promised the quality of litho from the Linoprint CP and CV digital presses and the speed of digital with new LED UV offset technology demonstrated on a Speedmaster SX 74.
Output from both LED-UV litho and digital printing solutions will be immediately ready for finishing, eliminating the usual drying delays.
In addition to the Polar guillotines and Stahlfolders on show at the Brentford showroom, there will be solutions from other third party suppliers, including Muller Martini showing the Presto II saddle-stitcher connected inline to a Stahlfolder.
Collated flat sheets from the digital press and an 8 page A5 folded section from the Speedmaster SX 74 LED-UV press will be combined to produce an eye-catching A5 format 36 pp stitched product with digital cover.
Other time-saving solutions at the show include the new Digital Front End, a faster Inpress Control 2 colour and register control tool, enhanced Prinect colour solutions and rapid online consumables ordering.
