The performance of Heidelberg's new generation of Speedmaster SM/CD 102 printers far exceeds the expectations of customers, and many users find that their productivity increase is far higher than the 10% predicted by Heidelberg. For the first batch of CD 102 presses tested, the user's evaluation was: “The combination of the new feeder and delivery device makes it a truly fast press, and it even handles extremely difficult-to-print substrates completely and smoothly. , And after using the new delivery device, the stacking is also very good.” Another professional plastic printing company in Minnesota, USA even reported that the production speed has increased by 30%. This is due in part to the new generation of dedicated static elimination device Foil Kit.

As the new Speedmaster CD 102 began to be put into large-scale production, more and more printers have begun to work, they have excellent performance and set new performance standards for the high-quality printing market of 70 X 100 cm (28 inches) format. . When coupled with feeder and delivery presets via PPF/JDF (Print Production Format/Document Definition Format), the company not only obtains higher production speeds, but also means shorter for frequent changeovers. Job preparation time.

With the addition of new features, the new Speedmaster SM 102 with outstanding performance has expanded the application range of the eight-color, ten-color, and twelve-color printing units with double-sided printing presses, and the productivity has also been greatly improved. These innovations include a new and improved roller jacket to improve the quality of double-sided printing. The owner of the Fritz printing factory found that “even if the ink coverage rate exceeds 300%, the most difficult Pantone color screen with a density of 2.2 can be printed clearly”. In the Russian Mule printing factory, even if the ink coverage of the job reaches 450%, the number of roller cleanings is reduced by ten times. The new roller jacket technology, known as the Enhanced Perfect Sheath and the Enhanced Transfer Sheath, will be released at this drupa show and they can also be applied to existing Speedmaster SM 102 double-sided presses.

In addition, Heidelberg's newly designed Speedmaster SM/CD 102 press in 2004 was designed not only to meet the newly issued safety standards for statutory and technical products, but also to make a series of improvements from the perspective of ergonomics. Therefore, the new optimized presses are not only safer but also more convenient to operate.
