Heidelberg Sells 35+ Speedmaster XL 106 Presses

Shortest makeready times for fast job changes
Since the start of 2012, Aumüller Druck in Germany has also been using a Speedmaster XL 106 eight-color perfecting press with Prinect Inpress Control and AutoPlate XL to print high-end commercial work in short runs of between 200 and 10,000 sheets. "The press has passed the test phase with flying colors, with the automatic plate changing and Prinect Inpress Control, which controls color and register accuracy on the fly, cutting makeready times dramatically," explains Stefan Aumüller, who manages the business with his brother Christian. "Turnaround times are noticeably shorter as, with net output of 17,000-sheets-per-hour, our productivity is around 20 percent higher than before, even for short-runs."
