Drupa--Direct Imaging Takes Center Stage

Heidelberg didn't stop here, though. In addition to its many prepress announcements (see page 22), it announced improved ergonomics on its popular Printmaster GTO 52. Other new features are ultrasound double sheet detection and forwards/backwards crawl speed.

Heidelberg also debuted the Printmaster PM 74, which outputs 12,000 sheets per hour. Intended for entry-level users, it prints in the 50x70-cm format and has a central control panel that provides access to all major press functions.
