Top 10 New Launches
Some of the many new products Drupa may have been postponed to 2021, but some suppliers are still going ahead with launches that were slated for the original drupa 2020 period. Some of the following picks are already available in the market, and meant to use drupa 2020 as a first showcase platform. These are some top 10 picks of the most recent launches: Heidelberg next generation Speedmaster From April 2020, Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) will be putting the most intelligent and automated Speedmaster ever into series production. The completely redesigned Prinect Press Center generation with the new Speedmaster Operating System delivers Push to Stop functionality and connection to the Prinect Cloud to every Speedmaster. Many new digital assistance systems, such as the Wash Assistant or Intellirun on the Wallscreen XL, turn the Prinect Press Center into a modern, attractive workstation, and allow the operator to continuously call on the machine’s performance potential. However, the hardware has evolved as well. In addition to the new and significantly larger 24-inch multi-touchscreen, the standard illuminant lighting to ISO 3664:2009 was converted to LED. Instead of time-consuming tube changes, as before, switching between standard illuminant D50 and D65 with and without UV is now done simply by pressing a button.
Canon Oce Colorado Wallpaper The Canon UVgel Wallpaper Factory is an integration between the awardwinning Colorado Printer Series and UVgel technology, and finishing partner Fotoba. Designed for outstanding throughput, high-quality, and efficiency, this solution is ideal for automated production of customized wallpapers. The UVgel Wallpaper Factory is a fully modular workflow solution, which consists of a motorized Fotoba Jumbo Roll media loader (JRL) connected to
the front of a Colorado series printer to help customers automatically cut flexible media into custom sizes and lengths. For an added convenience, with the embedded taping unit, print jobs can be as simple as "print, cut, rewind, and tape," allowing wallpaper rolls to be available for quick delivery. For regular print jobs, the two media drawers of the Colorado remain accessible.
