Anderson/LA Adds Press to Bolster POP Capabilities

LOS ANGELES—Anderson/LA, a Consolidated Graphics company, recently installed a new Heidelberg Speedmaster CX 102-6+LX UV press. The six-color model features Prinect Axis Control for closed-loop, inline color measurement and control, which ensures spectral data measurement and exact color reproduction. A Plastic Kit was added throughout the press, which enables printing on diverse substrates such as plastic, synthetic, static-cling and magnetic materials.

“The installation of this new Heidelberg Speedmaster CX 102 is further evidence of our commitment to meet the increasing demand by our retail and restaurant clients for a wider variety of in-store graphics, point-of-purchase applications and related printed materials, with increased flexibility, improved quality and shortened turn times,” said Luke Westlake, president of Anderson/LA.

This machine is equipped with the latest automation and integration from Heidelberg and is the first fully-automated Heidelberg Speedmaster CX 102 installed on the West Coast. The installation includes Heidelberg’s Prinect Press Center console with Intellistart—a PIA/GATF InterTech award-winning technology—which permits systematic changeover sequences to be determined automatically during live job production, enabling extremely fast makereadies by automated presetting capabilities.

For more than 53 years, Anderson/LA (formerly Anderson Printing) has served a variety of industries, including restaurant, retail, entertainment, automotive, financial, advertising, and design. It was acquired by Consolidated Graphics in 2005.
