GRAPH EXPO WRAP-UP -- Traditional Offset Gets a Booster Shot

Heidelberg introduced a Speedmaster CD 74 with UV integration, heralded as the first offset press specifically engineered with UV printing and coating in the original design specification. This allows fast changeovers from conventional to UV chemistry. Speedmaster customers were also drawn to AxisControl, Heidelberg's online spectrophotometrical color measurement and control system. Additionally, it demonstrated a Speedmaster SM 102 with ImageControl, which reads an entire 40˝ sheet, breaking it into 160,000 measuring squares, to provide color reference values, deviations and other information for each individual square.
