Heidelberg USA President Reflects on drupa

PI: With the launch of the Speedmaster XL 75 with Anicolor inking unit technology moving up to the 29˝ format size, what are the advantages of this press series for very-short-run printing in comparison with short-run digital printing presses that are available in the market?

Weimer: Our Speedmaster XL 75 Anicolor is unique. As the short-run color solution, it stands out by virtue of its extremely fast makeready, outstanding print quality, and dramatically lower waste. Keep in mind: referring to the last Digital Service Study from NAPL, three-quarters of pages printed on digital devices are static—this is the sweet spot for our Speedmaster XL 75 Anicolor.
