Heidelberg Sells 35+ Speedmaster XL 106 Presses

Technologically leading press and unrivaled productive
The Speedmaster XL 106 impresses with its high productivity thanks to the interplay of preset functions, color presettings, simultaneous plate changing with AutoPlate XL, Prinect Inpress Control, and extremely straightforward operation. The operator only needs to enter the length, width, and thickness of the substrate—the format and air settings are handled by the press. Initial users have praised its high availability and stable sheet travel, which are maintained even at maximum speeds thanks to a new perfecting and delivery concept and an adapted sheet control system. Operating at 18,000-sheets-per-hour in both straight and perfecting modes, the Speedmaster XL 106 achieves maximum productivity and processes a wide range of substrates up to 0.8 mm (0.031˝) thick in perfecting mode. It can therefore process everything from inmold foils to kraft board. With the 75x106 cm (29.53x41.73˝) sheet format, the maximum print format of 73x105 cm (28.74x41.34˝) in perfecting mode can now be used in its entirety, which means a larger diecutting border for packaging printers and more repeats per sheet for gang forms in Web-to-print. Initial users are impressed by the versatility and flexibility of the press and are already ordering further presses that they can then use to streamline their operations and achieve lean production.
