12/07/2001
Landmark M-600 commercial web press to be delivered to U.S.
printer Courier
Nine years after the sale of the first M-600 press to Imprimeries Decoster in France and only two years after the delivery of the 1000th printing unit to Artisan press in the United Kingdom, the 1,500th M-600 printing unit has just left the Heidelberg factory in Montataire to be delivered shortly as part of a complete press line at the North American printer Courier.
Dedicated to short and medium runs high quality magazine and catalogue printing, the M-600, which prints up to 55,000 copies per hour, quickly made its mark on the 16 page press market: It soon became a standard for commercial web printing and an excellent production tool for successful printers wishing to acquire or consolidate a leading position in the commercial or magazine printing markets.
Based on the close co-operation of French, German and American Engineering Departments, the M-600 soon became highly valued for its reliability and print quality. This 1,500th unit is a landmark sale for the Montataire production site, which is proud of the success of this press, which has been continually enhanced since its launch in 1992.
308 M-600 presses have been sold throughout the world. The Autoplate system has made a significant contribution to this success. Patented by Heidelberg, this offers 100 percent automatic plate change of eight plates on the press in less than three minutes without breaking the paper web. Highly appreciated for short and medium run jobs, the Autoplate is offered on all M-600 presses and has already allowed numerous printers to make considerable productivity gains.
At a time when reliability, print quality and productivity are of the essence, the M-600 offers printers a secure investment in the 16-page press market.
