FEATURED INSTALLATION 
DWS Printing Assoc., Deer Park, NY, added a Heidelberg Speedmaster XL 106 press in 2012 to expand capabilities and improve efficiency on a variety of substrates. It was the first XL 106 in the US with a combination of CutStar inline sheeter, Hybrid UV technology, and both Prinect Inpress Control and Prinect Axis Control color measurement and control systems. "We use Prinect Axis Control for the significant volume we print on clear film and metallized paper," said Tom Staib, president (right). "However, we also print the bulk of our work on white opaque materials, paper, and film, and for that we needed Prinect Inpress Control to monitor color on these substrates in real time, at speeds up to 18,000 sheets per hour. The fact that Heidelberg could customize our press in this way was a decisive factor in our selection of Heidelberg over the competition."
