Heidelberg Canada: Twelve Unit Speedmaster XL 105 installed at the PLM Group in Markham, Ontario

Heidelberg Australia and New Zealand are now seeing a trend toward longer presses with coating and special application configurations. In some respects our market is lagging the trend seen in Europe and the America's although there are parallels that show the same demand exists in our region. One such case is Canada, where in many instances the Canadian industry mirrors our situation. As such the experiences in Canada may spark your imagination.

Heidelberg Canada Graphic Equipment Limited recently installed a Speedmaster XL105-8+LYYLX3 in the greater Toronto area at the PLM Group in Markham, Ontario.

This is one of seven Speedmaster XL 105 installations in Canada since the introduction of the XL 105 to the market in April 2005.  This particular configuration consists of a high-performance Speedmaster XL 105-UV press with eight printing units, coating unit, two drying towers and another coating unit.
