Digital Digest: Heidelberg Digital Sneak Peek Reveals New Strategy

Dubbed internally as "Synerjetix," Heidelberg is seeking full buy-in among its employees to collaborate with a number of partners to develop digital inkjet printing solutions for commercial and package printing applications.

Foremost, Jason Oliver, head of Heidelberg's digital business unit, announced a partnership with Fujifilm to develop a Heidelberg-branded, B1-format color inkjet press designed for commercial and package printing. Company officials remained vague on when the cutsheet press will officially debut—but although Heidelberg still has until the end of the year to sign up for drupa 2016—it seems logical that timeframe would represent the desired launch date.
