Heidelberg Debuts 40" Speedmaster CX 102 Press

Capable of printing thin paper, heavy board stock and difficult substrates, the new press incorporates the gripper system and cylinder bearings found on the XL 105 with a new, stronger printing unit design. The CX 102 is also equipped with the XL 105's fully automated Preset Plus feeder, Preset Plus delivery and dynamic sheet brake. All settings are controlled centrally by the Prinect Press Center with wallscreen integrated with the Prinect Axis Control, Image Control, and the spectrophotmetric Inpress Control color and register measurement system. Jim Mauro, Prinect press control systems product manager, also provided an overview of Heidelberg's Image Control "Next Generation" system, which will be available early next year.
