Heidelberg and Muller Martini open house hailed a succes

Time:2015-11-25 From:

An open house organised jointly by Heidelberg and Muller Martini at the Heidelberg Brentford showroom, under the theme of Rapid Response, has been described as a success by the two companies.

Muller Martini demonstrated to visitors how conventionally and digitally printed signatures can be made into one single, complex product on the Presto II Digital hybrid saddle stitcher. A 36-page colour magazine in A5 format was stitched, which consisted of a four-page cover printed live on a Heidelberg Linoprint CV digital printing machine, three eight-page signatures printed digitally on the Linoprint CV and an eight-page signature printed offset on the Heidelberg Speedmaster SX 74.

The digitally printed signatures were transported from a Heidelberg buckle fold Stahlfolder TH56 via the plow folder of Muller Martini to the gathering chain of the Presto II Digital. The offset signatures, also printed live in Brentford using various methods (conventional, LED-UV and LE-UV technology), were folded on a Stahlfolder CH56 KT from Heidelberg and gathered via a conventional flat pile feeder. The magazine was topped off with a four-page cover, produced via the Muller Martini 1528 folder feeder.
