In October, the packaging print shop Warneke Paper Box invited more than 60 visitors from the US, Canada and Mexico to Denver for an open house, where it showcased the new Primefire 106 and its impressive capabilities.
Warneke’s Primefire is the first digital printing system in B1 format in the US and worldwide is the first standard-production machine delivered by Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG in July.
The Primefire prints with a resolution of 1200 x 1200 dpi, and boasts a wide color gamut and stable color consistency.
“The print quality of the Primefire 106 is unlike anything else I’ve seen, and satisfies all my criteria for a digital platform,” said Stacy Warneke, president and CEO of Warneke.
“We can also migrate everything we’ve printed so far on our Heidelberg offset presses to the Primefire 106,” Warneke VP and COO Steve Huppert added. “The new digital business models, customizations, and personalizations enable us to generate added value for our customers, and we expect that the Primefire will account for 25 percent of our sales volume in the future.”
Heidelberg launched the Primefire 106 at drupa 2016 and brought this machine to series-production readiness in 2.5 years.
In Europe, 3 customers from the packaging and pharmaceutical are beta testing the press.
The demand is especially high in the American, European, and Chinese markets.
“We listened to our customers when they told us what they needed. This includes producing ever declining runs economically and meeting ever stricter regulations in packaging printing with counterfeit-proof packaging design,” said Montserrat Peidro-Insa, head of digital at Heidelberg. “With the Primefire 106, we can inspire our customers to try new business opportunities by making the production of unique packaging profitable, and enabling security features, connected packaging solutions, personalized designs, and faster product prototyping, among others. We have delivered and the machine is in high demand worldwide.”
The Primefire 106 was the recipient of the 2018 Intertech Technology Award
