Value-Conscious Printers Nationwide Choose Heidelberg
Moquin reserves high praise for the XL 105’s outstanding user-friendliness, which keeps operator intervention to a minimum: “From a production standpoint, there’s not much need for manual adjustment. The present functionality of the machine is just phenomenal. We’re definitely doing more with less labor.” On the rare occasion a problem does arise, Heidelberg’s Systemservice36 maintenance contract kicks in and “Heidelberg is on top of it immediately,” Moquin said, adding that he plans to extend the coverage on his first two XLs under Heidelberg’s Partner Program, just as he already has for the company’s existing Speedmaster CD 74. Moquin’s installation of its third XL also marks the company’s first foray into hybrid UV printing, a move the company made to diversify its capabilities and take advantage of UV’s environmental benefits. “It’s a learning experience,” Greg Moquin said, especially when it comes to working with plastic. “Frankly, we had no idea there would be the kind of demand for it we have experienced thus far, but we’re grateful to be learning the ropes on such a powerful and capable press.”
