Digital Digest: Heidelberg Digital Sneak Peek Reveals New Strategy
Despite its heightened commitment to the inkjet printing space, Heidelberg is not forsaking its existing relationships in dry toner-based digital printing. Building on its three-year partnership with Ricoh, more than 400 Heidelberg Linoprint C (C 901 and C 751) digital printing systems have reportedly been sold worldwide. The printer enables the hybrid integration of digital personalization with offset shells, as well as short-run and personalized digital press runs. Heidelberg's Prinect Digital Print Manager integrates the Linoprint C into Heidelberg's overall Prinect workflow. Oliver also noted that more Ricoh products are in the pipeline.
