Packaging Printer DWS Printing Purchases New Heidelberg Speedmaster XL 106

By configuring the press with Heidelberg’s InterTech Award-winning Prinect Inpress Control, the in-line/in-press spectral color measurement system, and Prinect Axis Control, a console-based spectral measurement system, DWS also will enjoy the complete flexibility to measure any of a variety of substrates that will pass through the new press. These features, in combination with the Speedmaster XL 106’s Intellistart™ automatic press guidance system, will enable DWS to take advantage of the lowest possible makeready times and significantly reduce its waste, all while advancing its growing Green Initiative program.

The new Speedmaster XL 106 will be delivered with the latest version of the Prinect Pressroom Manager, the world's first pressroom management system based entirely on JDF. The system transfers complete presetting data from the MIS and prepress workflow to the press, and in return, collects press production and performance data, making it easy to judge performance and apply continuous improvement policies.

“We looked at solutions from several competitors, but in the end it was the people, technology, and support from Heidelberg that convinced us that this was the right decision for DWS,” Staib said. “Heidelberg listened to our needs and addressed them with the right solutions.”
