At the forthcoming drupa - from May 3 to 16, 2012 in
Düsseldorf - Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) will
be launching its complete range of digital print solutions for
commercial and packaging printing under the name Heidelberg
Linoprint.
"Heidelberg is using drupa as a platform to unveil the full
integration of all its digital print solutions for short and
variable runs in the commercial and packaging printing sectors in
its own product portfolio. This way, our customers benefit from the
close interlinking of offset and digital printing that print shops
can use to boost their competitiveness further. In future, the name
Heidelberg Linoprint will stand for the entire digital print
portfolio of Heidelberg," says Stephan Plenz, member of the
Management Board responsible for Heidelberg Equipment.
At drupa, the digital print solutions of Heidelberg will be
presented in Hall 1 under the banner of HEI Flexibility and will
highlight the seamless integration of offset and digital printing.
Linoprint C model soon to be equipped as standard with new
Prinect Digital Print Manager
Heidelberg has expanded its cooperation with Ricoh and,
from drupa 2012, will be selling the digital printing systems for
short runs from Ricoh under the names Heidelberg
Linoprint C 901 and Heidelberg
Linoprint C 751. At drupa, the products in the Heidelberg
Linoprint C series will be presented with the new Prinect Digital
Print Manager. Even without integration into a complete workflow,
this solution provides users with a highly efficient and
transparent digital print workflow with a wide range of functions,
such as variable data management, postpress with digital inline
finishing systems, and a document-oriented workflow. Optional
integration into the Prinect print shop workflow creates a seamless
hybrid workflow between offset and digital printing that is unique
in the industry. Users therefore have access to all the functions
of the Prinect workflow, such as job planning and costing,
standardized color management, and end-to-end management and
production control from prepress and press all the way through to
postpress.
This enables print shops to manage and calculate both their
offset and digital print jobs from a single workflow.
"The new Heidelberg Linoprint C models represent a further
milestone in the systematic expansion of our digital print
portfolio. Integrating these models into the automated Prinect
print shop workflow gives users an unprecedented degree of
flexibility in the production of print jobs. They thus benefit from
cost-optimized production and significant added value compared to
rival systems," says Dr. Christian Compera, Head of Digital
Printing at Heidelberg.
The new Prinect Digital Print Manager and its integration as
standard into the Heidelberg Linoprint C models is planned for fall
2012. Digital presses from Canon, HP, Kodak, and
Xerox can still be integrated into the Prinect workflow with
the new Prinect Digital Print Connector, but with a reduced range
of functions.
Linoprint L product line for digital packaging printing based on
inkjet solutions from Heidelberg
Having acquired digital print specialist CSAT in the
summer of last year, Heidelberg will in future be offering this
company's inkjet systems for the digital printing of labels,
blister packs, and films under the name Heidelberg
Linoprint L. The Heidelberg Linoprint L (formerly iTS6oo) is
a drop-on-demand system for the economical production of complex
short to medium-sized label and film runs and applications with
variable content. Users thus have access to a solution that enables
pioneering applications, such as smart labels, security printing,
and traceable labels.
"The Heidelberg Linoprint L series provides packaging manufacturers
with a tried-and-tested and technologically advanced drop-on-demand
inkjet system that can either be operated as a standalone machine
or integrated into packaging lines. This enables them to meet new
market requirements cost-effectively. At the same time, users enjoy
the benefits of the global sales network and the excellent service
quality of the leading solution provider for the print media
industry," says Daniel Dreyer, Head Digital Packaging Solutions at
Heidelberg.
