Heidelberg - Partner of the Annual Meetings of the IMF/WBG Prague 2000

09/25/2000


From 26th September to 28th September 2000, the Boards of Governors of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank Group (WBG) will be holding their Annual Meetings for the year 2000. It's going to be the most important political and economic event in Europe this year.

Also this year, the Heidelberg company is celebrating its 150th anniversary. Heidelberg is therefore very pleased to announce that it has become the "Official Supplier of the Executive Organizer of the Annual Meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank Group Prague 2000". This partnership means that most of the documentation resulting from these meetings will be printed on Heidelberg machines.

The official programme of the Prague 2000 IMF/WBG meetings will be held from the 26th September 2000. Actual printed production has, however, started the first week in September. All IMF/WBG seminars, lectures and speeches, are being documented in print - in several languages - for the needs of participants, guests, and the media representatives. A vast amount of material will therefore be printed and bound daily. It is estimated that the number of printed pages will amount close to 8 million, out of which 80% will be double-sided - totalling more than 14 million single-sided US Legal format (8 1/2 x 11 inches) printed pages in two weeks.

Both partners and suppliers are faced with a tremendously demanding task of organising a smooth, problem-free event. That is why only the most respected companies in their fields have been chosen to supply services for the occasion. All selected companies are therefore sure to find this a great challenge and an opportunity to prove that only the best can work with the best. During the selection process, the Heidelberg-team members were able to effectively demonstrate the high technological level of their products, their open and cost-effective approach, and their guarantee of flawless non-stop service.

All printed materials will be produced on four Heidelberg digital printing machines Digimaster 9110 as well as on eight analogue machines. These machines are networked in an efficient workflow. The "Print Centre" is located in a 900m² area (1,400 m² with surrounding storerooms) in the basement of the Congress Centre. The Digimaster 9110 leads the field in digital black and white printing and can handle demanding and diverse jobs from prepress over press to postpress. The main qualities Digimaster 9110 is able to offer are 600 dpi resolution, 110 impressions per minute, 8,000 sheet storage capacity (in six trays), scanning and further digital printing, and more.

It is a great honour for Heidelberg to co-operate with such a high-profile international organisation. The company wishes to demonstrate to the political and financial personnels from across the world that when there is a question of complex and state-of-the-art print solution, Heidelberg is the answer.
