First UK showing for new Heidelbergs

Heidelberg is to give three presses their UK debuts at spring open house events starting later this month.

The firm will highlight the Speedmaster XL 105 (pictured), the Speedmaster CD 74 long perfector and the alcohol-free Printmaster PM 74 Ecocolor.

The events will also be used for demonstrations of the firm's Prinect workflow.

"The printing market is recerptive to new ideas and new technologies and we believe that our spring events will be popular," said sales director Jim Todd.

Kit on show at the Leeds event, taking place from 26 to 28 April, will include a visible light version of the  Prosetter 74 platesetter and a host of post-press machines. There will also be a long perfecting version of the CD 74 and a PM 74 perfector with Ecocolor alcohol-free dampening.

Two weeks later, from 10 to 12 of May, its Tamworth showroom will host a straight version of the PM 74 Ecocolor and a six-unit version of the Drupa launched Speedmaster XL 105.

The firm's Brentford HQ will show five presses, from the Printmaster QM 46 all the way through to an SM 102 10-colour, along with a raft of finishing kit.
