Heidelberg presents new Versafire EP high-performance digital printing system

“The new Versafire EP delivers extremely stable production at a constantly high speed,” sums up Marcus Unterleider, Managing Director of the Unterleider Medien Gruppe. The company, based in Rödermark, has been testing the new high-performance digital printing system from Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) for several weeks.

The Versafire EP is based on the tried-and-tested platform of the Versafire CP and has been systematically enhanced for the needs of customers in the graphics industry. Like the recently introduced Versafire EV (press released from 20 March 2018), the Versafire EP has been developed for flexible production and maximum performance. Both machine models from Heidelberg feature the Prinect Digital Frontend (DFE) and an intuitive user interface that simplifies prepress work. The Prinect DFE uses the tried-and-tested Heidelberg renderer technology for the production of digital and offset printed products. This seamlessly optimizes consistency of color and form between the two production methods. “With the machines from the new Versafire generation, we offer our customers in commercial printing exactly the right solution for their applications,” explains Stephan Plenz, Member of the Management Board responsible for Digital Technology at Heidelberg. “The Versafire EV comes into its own in creative applications with many spot colors, while the Versafire EP is the high-performance machine for high volumes.”

The Versafire EP is available as a four-color press with redundant toner supply and technology geared towards stable, safe, efficient, and reliable production. It will be available in Europe from June, with other markets to follow soon afterwards.

These increases were partially offset by approximately $30 million in non-recurring temporary cost savings in 2020.

Innovative Ink From Xerox To Change Economics of Commercial Inkjet Printing

For many commercial printers, the cost savings derived from inkjet technology was offset by the expense of pre-or-post coating the paper or having to purchase specialty inkjet coated paper. With the introduction of the Xerox Trivor® 2400 High Fusion Inkjet Press, all that has changed. Xerox’s new High Fusion Ink produces high-quality results direct to offset coated paper on the Trivor 2400, removing the need for intermediate coating processes, primers or added hardware. The Trivor 2400 High Fusion Inkjet Press allows print providers to expand their inkjet media range to produce cost-effective, higher-value personalized jobs such as direct mail, catalogs, magazines and color books. High Fusion Ink is specially formulated to optimize printing and drying on offset coated media including matte, silk and glass stock from 60 to 250 gsm, up to 250 feet per minute. “The speed, great color range and ability to print on regular offset coated stock with no pre- or post-treatment makes the Trivor 2400 High Fusion Inkjet Press a breakthrough innovation in production inkjet,” said David Zwang, principal consultant, Zwang & Co. While High Fusion Ink is optimized for commodity offset coated papers, it also runs on a range of uncoated media, providing cost-effective redundancy for a versatile set of print jobs.
