Printscape 2006
The third annual Printscape event to be held at Heidelberg's Sydney
showroom took place last month. Demonstrating a full range of
Heidelberg prepress, press and finishing equipment, including a
complete Prinect workflow, Printscape 2006 offered Heidelberg
guests the chance to see a powerhouse of equipment suitable for
packaging, industrial and label printers.
Guests came to Sydney from around Australia and New Zealand to see the latest Heidelberg technology. The event also served to launch the Varimatrix die cutter to the Australia/New Zealand market.
While the Varimatrix was the 'star of the show' few people could ignore the Speedmaster XL105, especially when it ran up to its top speed of 18,000 sheets per hour in a very short time after completing a job change from paper to board in under 15 minutes.
Andrew Durrans, Managing Director of Brebner Print in New Zealand, said, "Printscape was a great opportunity to see the vast range of Heidelberg equipment in one place. It also provided a good opportunity to network with colleagues, friends and competitors. I believe both New Zealand and Australian print industries benefit from mixing together; Australia isn't a direct competitor and that creates an environment in which you can freely talk and share experiences.
It was terrific to see the end to end solutions from Heidelberg and how it all comes together. I've seen the XL105 before and am interested in the technology and its future perfecting capabilities. It's a very impressive machine, as is the Varimatrix die cutter."
On show at Printscape was the:
