Heidelberg to present Jetfire 50 at Hunkeler Innovationdays

At Hunkeler Innovationdays, to be held on 24-27 February in Lucerne, Heidelberg will showcase its digital ecosystem for end-to-end production based on the new Jetfire 50. This is the first exhibition at which the system is being presented in the Heidelberg design. 

In a world premiere, Heidelberg will also be unveiling the Fireline nearline post-press solution with the Stahlfolder TH 56/66 models for automated end-to-end production in digital printing.

The Stahlfolder TH 56/66 Fireline for nearline post-press operations in digital printing enables highly automated processing of digitally printed sheets in a single operation, all the way through to the finished cut and folded print product. Cutting, creasing, and folding all take place in just one pass. 

“In the industrial printing context, efficient and highly automated post-press operations are vital if production departments are to process a large number of highly diverse orders efficiently and ensure the profitability of digital print production. That makes our new Fireline post-press solution a key addition to the HEIDELBERG digital ecosystem, taking us a big step closer to end-to-end print production,” Dr David Schmedding, chief technology and sales officer at Heidelberg, said.

While the Stahlfolder TH 56 Fireline has been developed as a post-press solution for the Jetfire 50, the Stahlfolder TH 66 Fireline in combination with the Jetfire 75 is intended for the B2 format. Heidelberg is planning to unveil the Jetfire 75 in the course of 2025.
