All of the new models, in small, medium and large formats, will be equipped as standard with the new Push to Stop functionalities and host of new features including digitally controlled dampening, wash-up reduction, zero defect print, and specific functionality for packaging, commercial, and security printing.

The new Speedmasters, Heidelberg said, can produce up to 90 million sheets a year. Heidelberg has since pulled out of Drupa 2021, and instead will hold a series of virtual and face-to-face event.

The first in the series to kick-off will be at the “Innovation Week” from 19 to 23 October 2020, under the slogan “Unfold your potential”.
