The first tours have started in Scotland and Northern Ireland, showing a Printmaster PM 52-2 and a QM 46-2 press. Other tour venues include Swansea, Coventry, Nottingham and the IPIA exhibition in Telford from 5 October.

"Many printers cannot spare the time to travel long distances to view equipment but would welcome the chance to have a local or regional venue where they could meet our experts," said Heidelberg UK sales director Jim Todd.

The 10.6m long, air conditioned trailer also has the facilities to power pre-press and finishing equipment as well as plasma presentation screens. For more details of dates and venues go to www.heidelberg.com/roadshow.
