Heidelberg Hosts High Volume Commercial Printing Event, Awards Surprise Scholarship

Krapp noted that “Though jobs have to pass twice on the XL 105, it is surprising to see how much the press’ fastest makeready times and highest production speeds contribute to lower cost to print, from very short runs all the way up to run lengths of 40,000 copies or beyond. The SM 102 only breaks even in cost to print at higher run lengths, but for all different jobs, it provides by far the shortest job throughput times, especially when considering that work is made available sooner for the bindery. Our live production comparison clearly confirmed user statements that both presses complement each other and that shops with high production volumes can’t afford to miss one or the other.”
