The 1,000th Heidelberg Plate Reader Goes to China
09/25/2000
Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) delivered the
1,000th Plate Image Reader to the Chinese print shop Hongdahengzhi
Graphics Co. Ltd. in Peking in September.
The Plate Image Reader scans the printing plate and, for each ink zone, determines the proportion to be printed. The ink setting values which this yields are then forwarded to the CP2000 Center.
The company already uses a Speedmaster SM 102, equipped with the first CP2000 Center in China. Hongdahengzhi Graphics Co. Ltd. specializes in art books featuring Chinese painting, as well as magazines, catalogs and brochures. The CP2000 Center is setting new standards in terms of ease of use and machine handling and forms the heart of the Heidelberg Prinect. The Heidelberg Prinect can be used to initiate integration and networking operations for the Prinect Workflow. Software and hardware modules can be linked up as necessary to customize the process from start to finish.
The Chinese print shop uses the PresetLink which forwards the Plate Image Reader data online to the CP2000 Center. The CP2000 uses this information to calculate the settings for the printing unit ink fountains. This Prinect solution has been tailored precisely to the needs of Hongdahengzhi Graphics, thereby ensuring that the required production quality is achieved quickly. The Plate Image Reader can read all popular plate formats and is geared precisely to the ink zone widths of Heidelberg presses.
Heidelberg sees China as the most important growth market in Asia. Since the middle of 1998, it has had its own sales companies in Asia. These were previously part of the EAC sales organization. Heidelberg, the world market leader in solutions for the print and publishing industry, has sales and service representations in four important centers in China: Peking, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Hong Kong.
