As well as promoting its own integration suite, and claiming that it is the only firm that can provide horizontal and vertical integration, it will also be involved in CIP4 activities at the show.
We play a role in all CIP4 interoperability tests and we will be taking part in the CIP4 initiative at Drupa, said member of the management board, sheetfed Klaus Spiegel. As a partner member of CIP4, Heidelberg is giving full support to the development of standards and especially interoperability. The real focus will be customer benefits and the dramatic cost reductions.
Spiegel gave the example that over 50% of Heidelbergs Pre-press Interfaces were connected to non-Heidelberg kit as an example of the firms willingness to integrate with third-parties.
We place equal importance on integrating with third party manufacturers, its nothing new and we have to, to be successful, he said.
Heidelberg promised significant developments in the colour and quality control parts of Prinect would be launched at Drupa.
