Printscape 2006 |
 |
The third annual Printscape event to be held at Heidelberg’s Sydney showroom took place last month. Demonstrating a full range of Heidelberg prepress, press and finishing equipment, including a complete Prinect workflow, Printscape 2006 offered Heidelberg guests the chance to see a powerhouse of equipment suitable for packaging, industrial and label printers.
Guests came to Sydney from around Australia and New Zealand to see the latest Heidelberg technology. The event also served to launch the Varimatrix die cutter to the Australia/New Zealand market.
While the Varimatrix was the ‘star of the show’ few people could ignore the Speedmaster XL105, especially when it ran up to its top speed of 18,000 sheets per hour in a very short time after completing a job change from paper to board in under 15 minutes.
Andrew Durrans, Managing Director of Brebner Print in New Zealand, said, “Printscape was a great opportunity to see the vast range of Heidelberg equipment in one place. It also provided a good opportunity to network with colleagues, friends and competitors. I believe both New Zealand and Australian print industries benefit from mixing together; Australia isn’t a direct competitor and that creates an environment in which you can freely talk and share experiences.
It was terrific to see the end to end solutions from Heidelberg and how it all comes together. I’ve seen the XL105 before and am interested in the technology and its future perfecting capabilities. It’s a very impressive machine, as is the Varimatrix die cutter.”
On show at Printscape was the:
- Speedmaster XL105
- Varimatrix 105 CS Die Cutter
- Polar 137 XT Cutter and Handling System II
- Stitchmaster ST350 saddlestitcher
- Stahlfolder TH82
- Suprasetter 105 CtP Imagesetter
- Prinect Workflow
While all of the equipment at Printscape has been sold, it will remain in the showroom until customer installations begin over the coming months.
Heidelberg encourages anyone interested in seeing a live demonstration of the equipment to contact us on 1300 135 135.
