Speedmaster XL 75

Speedmaster XL 75 – simply successful.

This future-oriented press in 50 × 70 format delivers high efficiency, productivity, and ease of operation.

With Push to Stop, the efficiency of print production (OEE) can be raised to a level that has been difficult to achieve in the past. The new Intellistart 3 assistance system revolutionizes your job changes with comprehensive, time-optimized automation. Push to Stop and the implementation of artificial intelligence offer you a unique user experience (UX): autonomous and navigated printing across the entire printing process. The new Intelliline can be used to visualize the respective machine states. Machine operation is now easier than ever – the new Heidelberg User Experience on the 2020 generation of the Speedmaster will inspire you.

The result is a machine that adapts to changing market requirements. Top quality with maximum availability – you can rely on that.

Technical information

Cold foil module

The FoilStar cold foil module offers inline finishing with cold foil application using two offset units.

The coating unit –
for the highest standards of finishing

  • The coating unit hamber blade system and a wide range of coating supply and screen roller technologies enable outstanding coating results for diverse applications.
  • Automated coating plate changes ensure quick and easy coating plate and coating blanket changes.
  • Easy screen roller and coating changes further enhance the flexibility.

The Preset Plus feeder –
high performance for quality right from the start

The Preset Plus feeder looks after all the relevant format and air settings for the shortest makeready times and steady sheet travel when changing materials.

The washup devices –
intelligent and economical washing

  • Program-controlled blanket washup devices for blanket and impression cylinders with extremely short washing times combined with outstanding washup results.
  • Wash Assistant enables the automatic selection of the optimum washup program for the inking unit and blanket and impression cylinders based on the degree of soiling.

Sheet travel and perfecting device -
reliable guidance, flawless perfecting

  • The AirTransfer system with Venturi nozzle technology ensures contact-free and gentle sheet travel.
  • The perfecting device with fully automatic adjustment guarantees precise registration and gentle sheet guidance across a wide range of substrates, from lightweight materials up to substrate thicknesses of 0.8 mm.
  • The variable AirTransfer system with dynamic sheet spacing control provides contact-free sheet travel based on a characteristic profile, ensuring outstanding print quality in straight printing and perfecting.
  • The PerfectJacket and TransferJacket Blue cylinder jackets guarantee optimum print quality in straight printing and perfecting.

The Preset Plus delivery –
perfection right down to the pile

  • The Preset Plus delivery forms piles with neatly aligned edges. All settings are made automatically here by adopting the presetting data.
  • The dynamic sheet brake places even critical materials on the pile in a safe and controlled manner.

Prinect Inpress Control 3

The integrated Prinect Inpress Control 3 measurement system measures and controls register and color inline during production, and by so doing reduces makeready times and waste sheets.

The inking unit and dampening unit –
quality in a nutshell

  • The inking unit and dampening unit are responsive, color stable, and permit fast color changes. Relevant functions can be remote-controlled, including the short-path inking function with minimal ink consumption.
  • Precise presetting of the color profile enables a fast start of production. Color Assistant Pro fully automatically adapts the ink presetting.
  • The Vario function avoids hickeys during the production run.

The dryer systems –
quickly and efficiently into postpress

  • Drying units and UV interdeck dryers permit flexible drying downstream of the printing or coating units.
  • The various DryStar drying systems (DryStar Coating/Combination/Combination UV/UV/LE UV/LED Pro) are optimally matched to the sheet travel and ensure the best drying results.
  • Tool-free removal of the dryer systems for good accessibility.

The machine control station –
one-of-a-kind navigation and automation

Prinect Press Center XL 3 control station with intuitive Intellistart 3 operator guidance system for fast, process-oriented setup, user-friendly operation, predictable results and improved performance.

Plate changing system
