Heidelberg’s Speedmaster XL 75 Anicolor Is Now Available as a Perfector with UV

Heidelberg showcased the eight-color Speedmaster XL 75 Anicolor perfector and a five-color Speedmaster XL 75 Anicolor with coating unit and UV technology at Heidelberg Info Days earlier this month.

In small and medium formats, the Speedmaster XL Anicolor's zoneless Anicolor technology provides rapid inking-up that produces sealable sheets from the 20th print sheet onward.

The Speedmaster XL 75 Anicolor perfector is now able to print jobs on both sides and reduce makeready times.

The front and reverse sides are printed in a single pass, which greatly reduces delivery times. With the Speedmaster XL 75's modular design, customers can tailor their specific configuration to market requirements, thereby developing a flexible press.

The Speedmaster XL 75 Anicolor covers a broad spectrum, from a 4/4 press to a long perfector with coating and drying units.

One in every four Speedmaster XL 75 machines from Heidelberg is already supplied as a UV press. Consequently, UV technology is also being transferred to the Speedmaster XL 75 Anicolor.

UV presses can process absorbent and non-absorbent materials, which arrive in the delivery dry and can be passed to postpress immediately. The combination of Anicolor and UV generates less waste, thus resulting in major cost savings, particularly for print specialists working with expensive materials such as films. Thanks to short makeready times and rapid deliveries, business models like web-to-print are also possible. In addition, UV printing is suitable for a range of finishing options, offering printers opportunities to set themselves apart from the competition and provide added value for their customers.
