FEATURED INSTALLATION  Hammer Packaging, Rochester, NY, has installed a Speedmaster XL 106-8+L press from Heidelberg to increase capacity and improve productivity. It will run alongside two existing Speedmaster CD 102 presses and a CX 102. "It has become evident over the last few years that we need to have a tactical mix of large and small format presses," said Jim Hammer, president and CEO. "We were looking to add to our existing range of 40-inch offset presses, and we felt that the XL 106 provided the best value in the market." He says the press is performing as promised--running maximum speeds of 18,000 sheets per hour with impressive makeready times and automatic plate changes in fewer than 3 minutes. In just over 3 months of production, the press counter is already showing 19 million impressions, and the company intends to further increase throughput by running shifts 24/7.
