Heidelberg presents latest Linoprint C presses

Heidelberg said the latest Linoprint C presses, CV and CP, are suitable for a wide range of digital printing applications, from conventional commercial jobs with coatings to white-printed labels and double-sided, coated banners of up to 700mm.

Alongside the latest Linoprint C models, Heidelberg also demonstrated the new Prinect digital front end, which uses Heidelberg color management and Heidelberg Renderer (RIP) technology. It also enables seamless integration of the two new digital printing systems into the overall workflow of a print shop, meaning all print jobs can be centrally managed in one workflow system, irrespective of the production process that has been selected.

Using a dedicated application center and live demonstrations, Heidelberg presented new and creative digital printing applications at HEI Flexibility Days that enable print shops to offer added value to their customers.

Jason Oliver, head of digital printing at Heidelberg, said: ‘Most print shops these days already have a digital print system in place for standardized short-run printing. But now the focus is increasingly on maximizing the potential of the technology and using even higher-quality print applications to really impress end customers. At the HEI Flexibility Days, we presented a comprehensive range of options that address these requirements.’

Heidelberg said more than 250 international visitors attended the two-day HEI Flexibility Days event.

‘It is increasingly clear that most print shops want to combine offset and digital printing to ensure profitability across the full spectrum of jobs,’ Oliver continued. ‘The new Heidelberg Linoprint C models combined with the Prinect digital front end developed specifically for them provide the ideal solution.’
