Graph Expo: Sheetfed/Web Offset Printing -- Still Making Impressions

Heidelberg USA chose a different tack for this year’s Graph Expo. It demonstrated a fully integrated, Prinect-based print shop. On the press side, the company featured the U.S. debut of its Speedmaster XL 105 as a perfector model.

The 10-color press was equipped with Prinect Inpress Control, the first in-line device for sheetfed presses that uses spectrophotometry to measure color and register, while the press is running. Also shown with the press was the Prinect Press Center, which features a 40? Wallscreen unit where all press conditions and operations can be viewed at a glance, including color and register control.
