Heidelberg Ramping Up for Debut of VLF Presses

PI: With the new press offerings, how much retraining will be necessary for existing Heidelberg service technicians and installers? Is that much of an issue?

SCHREIER: Technicians who can service an XL 105 press will also be able to service the XL 142 and XL 162. Clearly, there will be some special features on the very-large-format presses that they’ll have to learn and be trained about. But the fundamentals, the platforms, the technology, the controls—all of this is fundamentally taken from the XL 105 and incorporated into the 142 and 162.
