Greater Efficiency Is Goal of Latest Install Sites for Heidelberg Solutions

The new XL press also features the 2009 InterTech Award-winning Prinect Press Center with Intellistart operator guidance and integrated Wallscreen, which gives the press operator (and customers on hand for observation) a comprehensive overview of all press processes. As a result, “press checks have gone remarkably well,” Heeter acknowledged.

The company expects to realize further improvements in productivity with the installation of Prinect Pressroom Manager and Prinect Integration Manager, which the company is in the process of integrating with its existing production workflow. Acquiring a second XL 105 will also help the company expand its fledgling packaging business, which currently represents about 10 percent of Heeter’s total job volume.

Heeter Direct also operates a 10-color Speedmaster SM 102 perfecting press, and assorted postpress equipment including a Stahl TD 72 buckle-plate folder with Compufold, two Stahl TH-82 buckle-plate folders with Compufold, an ST450 saddlestitcher, a POLAR System 6 with Compucut and a POLAR 115 EMC cutter and jogger.

Third-generation, family owned Heeter Printing has been in business for more than 60 years, serving clients involved in the healthcare, pharmaceutical, educational and utility markets throughout the mid-Atlantic region. The company employs a staff of 85.
