05/17/2000


Innovative Technology for the drupa 2000 generation of Speedmaster SM 74 presses o CP2000 Center now also available in mid-size format o The most tightly integrated mid-size press

The drupa 2000 generation of Speedmaster SM 74 presses features enhanced operating functions and numerous technological innovations to increase productivity. The comprehensive automation of the Speedmaster SM 74 makes short runs cost-effective, while the stable production process ensures high productivity on long runs. So it is not surprising that the Heidelberg Speedmaster SM 74 is already the most successful commercial press in the 29 inch class.

The printer has all the major functions of the new CP2000 Center at his fingertips. In addition to CIP3 connection, the PresetLink software module transfers presetting data online to ensure the seamless integration of the press into the print shop's digital workflow. The CP2000 Center also controls the new, fully-automatic changeover of the perfecting device on certain models. Automatic lateral pile adjustment and hickey prevention with Alcolor Vario make life even easier for the printer during the production run. In the configuration with ten printing units, which will be presented on drupa for the first time, the Speedmaster SM 74 can display all its advantages to full effect - One Pass Productivity in the mid-size format is now also available for 5/5.

Perfect printing with PerfectJackets
With its new PerfectJackets for the impression cylinders after the perfecting device, Heidelberg is setting new standards in double-sided printing - perfect straight/straight printing has become a reality. This exchangeable cylinder jacket has an additional ink-repelling silicon-based layer over a high-strength titanium compound. Its main advantages are less cleaning and longer production cycles without washing.

With a comprehensive range of models from single-color to ten-color presses, Heidelberg has solutions for any capacity and any job mix. Excellent flexibility means that the Speedmaster SM 74 is the perfect press for the versatile commercial printer with high quality requirements. Heidelberg's complementary range of products for prepress and finishing and its tried-and-tested workflow integration make the Speedmaster SM 74 a core component that can be fully integrated into the commercial workflow.

The CP2000 Center will be available for press configurations with four or more printing units from October onwards. The first installations of the Speedmaster SM 74-10-P are expected during the second half of 2000, with fully automatic sheet reversal ready for delivery from the end of the year.
