From drupa 2008, Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) is
offering its customers Saphira Performance Kits for specific
applications and technologies. These will deliver even better
performance levels from Heidelberg equipment.
The Saphira Performance Kits consist of coordinated
consumables developed initially for Anicolor and Perfecting Coating
Solution technologies and UV applications. The consumables, which
all bear the Saphira label, have been enhanced by Heidelberg and
combined so that they dovetail perfectly with each other and with
the equipment. The special composition of these kits enables users
to unlock the full scope and performance of the equipment and to
achieve high-quality production results for special applications.
All the consumables they include are either manufactured in-house
by Heidelberg or have been developed jointly in cooperation with
selected suppliers.
The first Saphira Performance Kits are available for the
Speedmaster SM 52 with Anicolor technology (Saphira Performance Kit
Anicolor), UV applications (Saphira Performance Kit Hi-speed UV,
available end 2008), and Speedmaster SM 102 presses with Perfecting
Coating Solution (Saphira Performance Kit Perfecting Coating
Solution).
They augment the Starter Kits included as standard ex works
and are available on request. Further packages are under
development.
"Our own research results have shown that the already
high performance of Heidelberg equipment can be further enhanced
through the use and intelligent combination of coordinated
consumables, thereby making the process of achieving the best
possible quality in special applications even more cost-efficient.
We have incorporated these findings in the make-up of the Saphira
Performance Kits and are making them available to our customers as
of drupa 2008," explains Peter Tix, Head of Business
Management at Heidelberg and, as of July 1, 2008, responsible for
managing consumables business.
