AMP Invests in a Speedmaster XL 106 UV Perfector to Secure a Competitive Advantage

“We’ll also be able to change all the plates in less than two minutes, as well as measure every sheet through the press for color and register in real time,” he continued. “Prinect Inpress Control will enable us to offer an unprecedented level of color stability throughout the run, and help our operators relax while running such a long, complex machine.”

By virtue of its shortened makeready times, rapid inking with low-VOC UV inks, and dramatically lower material waste, the Speedmaster XL 106 also supports the company's longstanding policy of sustainable print production, an essential concern for any printer subject to California’s strict environmental protection laws. The company is a certified Green Printer with a longstanding commitment to “Print Responsibly” in every area of the business.

The Rest of the Story
With its choice of press squared away, the company felt it needed to create whatMain termed a “closed-loop” situation at AMP by also purchasing a Suprasetter 105 chemistry-free CtP unit with Heidelberg’s complete Prinect prepress and production workflow. Once the new press is installed, AMP also plans to take advantage of Heidelberg’s Print Color Management service to further optimize its pressroom efficiency. The company also works with Heidelberg Saphira consumables from prepress to plating to press.

Beyond the stunning capabilities of Heidelberg’s flagship XL 106, it was Heidelberg’s “mindset of service” that proved decisive for AMP.

“Our experience in dealing with Heidelberg for more than three decades has shown us not only that Heidelberg engineering is rock-solid, but also that we’ll be well taken care of in terms of service and parts. After all, any press you install is only as good as the support team that helps you look after it.”
