Large-Format Sheetfed Presses -- Bigger Gets Better

"Plus, our large and super-large format models produce the same high quality generated on a 40˝ press, but give the printer twice the productivity as one 40˝ press," he says. "The Rapida 142 outputs two 40˝ sheets at a time and the Rapida 205 outputs four 40˝ sheets at a time."

Heidelberg USA, which garnered much attention with its Speedmaster XL 105, has also witnessed customer demand for increased efficiencies. Additionally, the company has received much feedback for its long perfecting technology, which offers the fastest job throughput and turnaround time in all format classes, asserts Roland Krapp, vice president of sheetfed for Heidelberg USA.
