The Long Haul

The Speedmaster XL 105’s UV capability was a big selling point for Pitts. “We chose a hybrid system for its ease of use and production capability,” he says. “We can now switch between aqueous coating and UV inks easily, which is a big advantage and enhances our capability portfolio.”

To enhance and complement the Speedmaster XL 105, Carded Graphics also purchased a full prepress system from Heidelberg including a Suprasetter 105 platesetter, Prinect Prepress Manager workflow system, Prinect Image Control color measuring system, and Prinect -Inspection Control, which monitors color consistency across the sheet.
