First Perfecting Large-Format Press from Heidelberg Put into Operation

Innovative sheet delivery ensures top print quality and lower material costs
This perfecting press is also equipped with a revolutionary delivery concept. Unlike traditional large-format deliveries, the sheet is transported to the delivery not just by means of a gripper bar at the front edge of the sheet, but by two gripper systems at the front and rear edges. On arrival at the delivery, it is slowed and delivered using another gripper system. This innovation dispenses with the need for a sheet guide plate and the sheet brakes in the press delivery. This leads to far higher print quality, because it eliminates the possibility of fresh ink finding its way onto the sheet guide plate or sheet brakes.
