DRUPA 04 REPORT Sheetfed & Web Offset Printing -- No Rain on P

As expected, sheetfed printing played a starring role in Heidelberg's two halls at the exhibition. Drupa served as the worldwide launch of the new 18,000 sph, 41.3˝ Speedmaster XL 105 press designed for label and packaging printers that handle long runs. Increased productivity of 30 percent or more is achieved with such features as its unique Air-Transfer system for contact-free sheet transport; Preset Plus feeder and delivery; Hycolor integrated inking/dampening system; and an innovative coating unit.
