At the seminar, Ganesh Kumar, senior sales manager at Heidelberg India spoke about the Drupa innovations and highlighted salient points in an automated press and the benefits of Anicolor press.

According to Kumar, compared to a press with conventional inking unit, the benefits of Anicolor can be summed up as "90:50:50" which means that Anicolor inking unit technology results in 90 percent less paper waste, 50 percent shorter makeready times, and 50 percent higher productivity.

He added, “With a shorter make-ready time, print buyers can walk-in with their jobs and get it printed within a short span of time (A-4 or A-3 sheets, in 10-15 minutes maximum) and pricing is very competitive with digital too.”
