Heidelberg Adds New Perfecting Coating Solution to Speedmaster SM 102
05/05/2004
One Pass Productivity with Double-Sided Inline Dispersion
Coating
In Hall 2 at the drupa exhibition, Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) will be showcasing a particular highlight for perfecting printing, demonstrating its new Perfecting Coating Solution on a Speedmaster SM 102-10P. This solution allows the fifth and tenth printing units to be flexibly used for either printing or dispersion coating. It enables commercial printers using a ten-color press to print either 5/5 color or 4/4 color with double-sided dispersion coating in a single pass. This promises a noticeable productivity boost in inline production for commercial printers who need to meet tight deadlines and make themselves stand out from the competition. The solution is not just for ten-color presses, but also for the twelve-color presses which are becoming increasingly common.
This new and versatile coating technology for perfecting printing opens up new market opportunities for users of long perfecting presses. The technology can be used to produce printed materials like automotive brochures, annual reports, brochures, magazines and CD booklets on matt and glossy paper.
The modular technology allows the offset units to be converted to coating units in a minimum of time. This ensures that optimum use is made of the chosen press configuration either for straight printing with subsequent dispersion coating or for perfecting printing with or without dispersion coating.
Double-sided dispersion coating gives printed products a higher-quality appearance. Reduced powder application also improves the feel of the product. Dispersion coating means that the product dries faster, which is of particular benefit with matt papers, and allows finishing to commence rapidly so that job processing times can be reduced to improve customer service. Moreover, the yellowing which often occurs with varnishes is eliminated, and the scratch and scuff resistance of the product is enhanced.
The Perfecting Coating Solution is a chambered doctor blade system with screen roller. This ensures very even, high-quality application of the coating. The system is also equipped with CAN-BUS technology, so it meets even the highest standards for control systems. The DryStar Perfecting dryer system has been developed from scratch, and employs a combination of IR and hot air between the printing units to ensure optimum drying in a minimum of time.
