Heidelberg and Fujifilm will build a B1 sized digital press

Heidelberg does not put all its digital eggs in one basket. It signed an agreement with Landa for nanographic presses, works together with Ricoh to add their printers to the Prinect Workflow, offers industrial printers with the Linoprint C series and is developing a digital label printer together with Gallus and Fujifilm. Now they are announcing a cooperation with Fujifilm to manufacture a B1 sized inkjet sheetfed press. All under the name Time for Digital. Whether the market leader in offset presses is in time to catch up with this digital move remains to be seen and we will have to wait for the DRUPA 2016 to see which presses they will show.
