Heidelberg's new Anicolor ink supply unit technology and flexo CtP solutions replace direct imaging printing

The market development trends and customer survey analysis provided by Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG show the trend of a combination of off-line CtP solutions and offset presses.

In the press conference on the new Speedmaster SM52 and Anicolor ink supply unit technology, the non-partitioned short ink supply unit is associated with traditional printing plates and offset printing inks. Heidelberg offers a print quality reduction and cost saving in terms of offset quality. Attractive new solutions. Heidelberg publicized this new technology at the end of February and will launch it in early 2007. With this technology, factories can dramatically reduce preparation time and reduce waste by up to 90%.

Heidelberg stopped production of the DP46-4 and the Speedmaster 74ID series of direct imaging presses. Heidelberg guarantees technical support for printing presses in the market with consistent service quality and continues to provide spare parts and consumables for machinery and equipment. Heidelberg will continue to incorporate its own imaging technology in this successful device family of CtP.

In addition, Heidelberg announced on March 24 that it will increase its sixth office in the United States to promote its localized sales and services and better serve local buyers.
