Speedmaster XL 106-8-P and Speedmaster CX 102-5+L. Productivity on demand – over 90 million printed sheets on the Speedmaster XL 106-8-P and over 70 million printed sheets on the Speedmaster CX 102-5+L per year are expected.
“The Speedmaster machines come closest to our requirements for fast and effective industrial print production. It was important to us to invest in a press that could reliably process a wide range of different substrates in different formats, and do so at top speed and in high quality. The makeready times had to be short, and it had to be able to handle maximum workloads while needing minimal servicing and spare parts. Our Speedmaster XL 106-8 P produced over 172 million printed sheets from start of 2015 to spring 2017, including eight million sheets in March of this year alone. The other machines also neatly fit into this record-breaking series: our new Speedmaster CX 102-5+ yet again exceeds all expectations with a productivity increase of over 70 percent If we extrapolate this ratio, we can expect well over 70 million printed sheets per year”, explains Petr Kotýnek, Managing Director of Triangl. “Our experience to date with German manufacturers has been only positive. In our opinion, however, Heidelberg is the only company with the solutions to satisfy the market’s need for fast and effective production”, continues Petr Kotýnek.
Antonín Kotýnek, Petr Kotýnek’s father, established the company together with his wife in the early 1990s to manufacture stamps in Prague. Its range of services was later extended to include offset printing. Today, Triangl is one of the leading manufacturers of mainly short-run magazines, catalogs, and calendars in the Czech Republic. Most of the products are intended for the local market, with a small portion exported overseas. The full-service company now has 103 employees, and is continuing its investment.
“We are going to build a further production hall in 2018, and will have another XL 106 running there too”, reports Petr Kotýnek on his growth plans. An older Speedmaster CD 102 was already replaced with a new CX 102 in January of this year. “Apart from the annual output, two examples show very clearly the kind of productivity we are achieving with the Speedmaster presses: in May 2016, we produced 964 4/4-color jobs with an overall run length of 7,742,000 sheets with a total waste rate of 4.1 per cent. Two months later, we made ready 39 4/4-color jobs and printed each one in a run of 6,300 sheets in 20 ½ hours. I think that sums up why we continue to insist on Speedmaster presses as well as consumables and services from Heidelberg”, continues Petr Kotýnek.
