What the Heidelberg and Unisource Partnership Means for Printers

In June, Heidelberg USA and Unisource Worldwide announced a partnership whereby Unisource will serve as the U.S. distributor of Heidelberg’s Saphira-branded consumables. It will enable commercial printers to order paper and consumables at the same time, either online or through a single phone call, for same- or next-day delivery by Unisource. It reportedly will also allow printers to reduce costs and achieve economies of scale by managing their equipment, consumables and paper purchases as a bundled offering.
