DIGITAL'S FAMILIAR FACE

On Heidelberg's Speedmaster 74 DI, Dähnhardt maintains, these issues have been addressed. The press produces offset quality imaging, with no color cracking, and is food-packaging friendly. Additionally, the UV CoCure process is possible, and the press uses conventional offset inks, coatings, etc.

MAN Roland has dipped into digital technology in various ways, from the DICOpack web-based packaging/label press to its new DICOweb unit, which employs an imaging cylinder that is laser-imaged, then erased, so the press can print job after job directly from digital data.
