eidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (HEIDELBERG) is turning the entry into industrial digital commercial printing announced at drupa 2024 together with its cooperation partner Canon into reality. The new Jetfire 50 B3 inkjet printing system from HEIDELBERG, which was showcased at the industry’s leading trade fair, is now going into demo operation at the Print Media Center (PMC) at the Wiesloch-Walldorf site and is available for demonstrations to interested parties. Appointments can be made via the respective contact persons in the HEIDELBERG sales offices. In addition to a wide range of prepared print jobs, such as various brochures, flyers, cards or posters, customers can also test their own print jobs on the machine. The Jetfire 50 is able to cover a wide range of up to B3 format products in the commercial sector.
The hybrid interaction of all HEIDELBERG offset and digital printing systems controlled via the Prinect workflow will also be on show. By integrating offset and digital presses into a workflow with Prinect, users can significantly increase their flexibility, efficiency and cost-effectiveness in print production and also benefit from standardized access to the HEIDELBERG ecosystem.

The focus is on the advantages and possibilities of hybrid production in conjunction with our solutions for sheetfed offset printing.”
