The students, all new to the industry, were accompanied by senior lecturer and course director Alan Springett. They were buzzing with excitement about the new technology demonstrated by the experts, said Springett.
Among the party was an Indian National Diploma student, who has been charged by his father to set up a printing company to complement the familys paper mill. Hes already decided to buy a Heidelberg Speedmaster 74 five-colour this Easter and this will be only the beginning of his investments, Springett said.
Springett praised Heidelberg for the time and effort it put into the visit.
