Heidelberg’s Postpress Commercial Information Days Draws Printers, Bindery Firms

Heidelberg also offers ideal solutions for finishing very short runs, be they entirely digital, a mixture of digital and offset, or traditional offset alone. Inline finishing solutions from Ricoh, for example, extend from small offline machines to large adhesive binders that enable the economic production of both short and long print runs. The portfolio of Heidelberg is supplemented by OEM products from partners such as Duplo/FKS, Hunkeler, Kodak, and Popp.

Customers discover the potential for generating extra added value in postpress
“More and more customers are discovering the potential for generating extra added value in postpress,” explains Reginald Rettig, Chairman of the Board of Heidelberger Druckmaschinen Vertrieb Deutschland GmbH. Twenty saddlestitchers from the Stitchmaster series have already been sold this year in Germany and Switzerland alone. Customers include commercial print shops and finishing companies. They value the high level of automation, flexibility, and short makeready times as well as the comprehensive range of consultancy and services. Many customers use both saddlestitchers and adhesive binders from Heidelberg.
