“Perfect from all sides” – HEIDELBERG launches new-generation Speedmaster SX 102

Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (HEIDELBERG) is investing heavily in taking its core business to the next level. “Perfect from all sides” is the slogan for the market launch of the company’s new-generation Speedmaster SX 102 , which has been enhanced in line with customer requirements. This press is aimed primarily at commercial print shops that require a high level of productivity and top-quality perfecting printing. Typical areas of use range from brochures and commercial print products to inserts for pharmaceutical packaging, and therefore include applications involving very thin materials that need to be produced in a single pass.

The basic model offers an excellent price-performance ratio, with configurations extending all the way through to an autonomous Push to Stop perfecting press. The new 92 format option (650 x 940 millimeters) cuts printing plate costs by up to 20 percentcompared with the conventional 102 sheet format (720 x 1,020 millimeters), which is also available. This is a key economic consideration, especially given the sharp rise in raw material prices.
