First Perfecting Large-Format Press from Heidelberg Put into Operation

The elimination of the braking corridor also allows the size of the untrimmed sheet format to be reduced by around 50 mm. With a print output of 30 million sheets per year, for example, this would save up to Euro 200,000 per year in material costs. What’s more, it also enables the production of mixed forms with different repeat sizes. Further benefits of this new technology include reduced makeready times, as there is no need to set the brakes, and improved pile quality due to unprecedented control of the sheet drop in the delivery.
