Heidelberg Deems Launch of Speedmaster SX a Success as 1,000+ Printing Units Already Sold

Schürch achieves ultra-short makeready times with Speedmaster SX 74
The Schürch AG print shop in Huttwil, Switzerland, has been using a new Speedmaster SX 74 five-color perfecting press with coating unit since August this year.

“Our productivity has grown by at least 20 percent with the new Speedmaster SX 74 with AutoPlate Pro. We can now carry out a complete plate change in less than two minutes and cut makeready times dramatically,” says deputy managing director Markus Siegenthaler. “The coating unit has reduced our job throughput time enormously. We can now print in the morning and deliver by midday. The Prinect Axis Control color measuring system ensures the print job is much more stable and we have fewer color fluctuations.”
