The firm will show the Speedmaster XL 105, the Speedmaster CD 74 long perfector and the alcohol free Printmaster PM 74 Ecocolor.

The Ecocolor completely eliminates the need for isopropyl alcohol (IPA) by integrating the press with a new speed compensated dampening system. The unit uses ink-bearing roller surfaces that create microscopic water droplets as a result of water emulsification in the ink.

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

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

Two weeks later, from 10-12 May, its Tamworth showroom will host a straight version of the PM 74 Ecocolor and 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 a SM 102 10-colour, and a raft of finishing kit on 17-19 May.
