The Heidelberg Digimaster 9110 Network Imaging System has been
named the best high-volume monochrome CRD production device by a
leading independent testing laboratory.
Business Equipment Research and Test Laboratory (BERTL)
recognized the Digimaster printer in its latest "Digital
Office Awards 'Best of the Best' 2002." The winning products
and manufacturers were chosen based on approximately 200 hands-on
evaluations. Established in 1990, BERTL has gained a reputation for
its expertise in providing independent, balanced analysis of
performance of digital document imaging systems.
According to BERTL CEO Carmel Rowley, "The 9110 marks
Heidelberg as a strong player in the fast-growing and increasingly
competitive segment 6 digital duplicator/printer marketplace
… the Heidelberg Digimaster 9110 is very hard to fault
because it delivered one of the best quality reproduction seen on
any digital imaging system."
"Under test," Rowley continued, "the
Heidelberg Digimaster 9110 delivered consistent high speed
throughput on all types of electronically generated print files.
BERTL analysts were especially impressed with its performance on
the continuous varied production work, which switched jobs
frequently and interspersed A4/letter-sized paper with A3 / 11 x 17
inch paper along with stapling."
The Digimaster 9110 print system employs powerful
high-definition imaging technology to deliver documents with fine
text and rich graphics at 600 dots per inch, at a rate of 110
images per minute. Designed to meet the workflow needs of on-demand
printing and duplicating, it employs an open architec- ture that
allows it to be easily integrated into networks.
"It is a testament to Heidelberg and to our employees
that our Digimaster print system continues to get rave reviews,
both from top industry experts and from our customers," said
Wolfgang Pfizenmaier, Member of Heidelberg's Management Board
and President of Heidelberg's Digital Solution Center, which
designed and manufactures the machine. "We appreciate the
accolades, and we will continue to expand the capabilities of the
Digimaster product family to drive growth in the digital,
high-volume black-and-white printing marketplace."
BERTL's Digital Office Awards, 'BEST of the BEST' is the
latest recognition for the Digimaster 9110 print system. BERTL
previously honored the printer with its "Five Star Exceptional"
award, and the Digimaster machine has also been recognized with the
prestigious "Editor's Choice" award from Better Buys for Business.
