Proteus Packaging is First U.S. Printer to Run Heidelberg Speedmaster XL 145
“Amazing, Really”
Proteus runs 10- to 30-point paperboard exclusively, so the performance of the XL 145’s Preset Plus feeder was of paramount importance. “Our expectation was that we would be able to run these types of substrates without challenging the feeder or causing unnecessary stops and starts, despite deficiencies inherent in the material,” Wayman said. “Even at high speeds, the feed table with central suction belt adjusts automatically to the format and printing stock, greatly minimizing our makeready times.” Likewise, he said, “Prinect Inpress Control permits faster inking up and eliminates the need to stop the press for sheet pulls and color measurements, dramatically reducing our setup waste.” Finally, given its size and the types of materials it consumes, “The press is also very quiet,” Wayman added. “It’s amazing, really.”
