One Interface for Sheetfed and Web Offset Presses
04/08/2002
At IPEX Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) will
announce an important extension of its established Prinect workflow
The proven Heidelberg PrepressInterface can now transfer prepress data to the Sunday 2000 Omnicon control system and to control systems of M-600 web presses and Speedmaster sheetfed presses.
The Heidelberg PrepressInterface calculates ink coverage values and ink zone presettings for the presses from CIP4/PPF data, thus reducing makeready times and enhancing production data management capabilities. Heidelberg has already installed more than 2,000 PrepressInterface systems worldwide, which won also the GATF InterTech Technology Award.
"Many printers operating sheetfed and web presses in one plant are using two or more separate presetting applications," according to Werner Albrecht, President of Heidelberg's Web Systems Solution Center. "Now Heidelberg has simplified this process with a streamlined solution for sheetfed and web presses based on open industry standards."
Dr. Klaus Spiegel, member of the Heidelberg Management Board and Head of the Sheetfed Solution Center explains: "Our goal is to assist our customers in increasing the efficiency of their printing plants through prepress, press, postpress and management information systems."
Prinect (Prinect = Print & Connect) is the world 's first Print Media and Graphic Arts software portfolio that allows the printer to digitally network all the production workflow in Prepress, Press and Postpress operations and connect them to the management workflow system of the print shop. It greatly increases the flexibility and reliability of the production and management process.
