Vista Color Corporation, a packaging printer in Miami, FL, recently purchased a Heidelberg Speedmaster XL 106-6+L with AutoPlate Pro and Inspection Control 2, making it the sixth press they have purchased from Heidelberg in the last 20 years.
The new XL 106 runs alongside an existing Speedmaster XL 106, seven-color press with double coater and inline foiling. This new machine, equipped with Push to Stop technology, is streamlining production at Vista Color and decreasing turnaround times.
“We designed our first XL 106 for the more complex packaging jobs that we typically run, but it was creating a bit of a bottleneck when we wanted to run more standardized jobs,” said Jess Hernandez, president of Vista Color. “The strategy for the new press is to create an express lane for less complex folding cartons and quickly turn those orders around. This new XL 106 is like a digital press with plates.”
With Heidelberg’s breakthrough Push to Stop technology together with AutoPlate Pro, jobs can be autonomously changed over without operator intervention and continue to print until the operator steps in to interrupt if required.
