Press release from the issuing company

KENNESAW, Ga., June 22, 2005 – Heidelberg will demonstrate its passion for the printing industry at PRINT ’05 with the unveiling of its latest solutions and technologies – all designed to make today’s printers successful. The company’s vast range of prepress, press and postpress solutions will be on display at Booth #1200 at one of the world’s largest gatherings of international printers, the PRINT ’05 tradeshow, which is being held in Chicago at McCormick Place on Sept. 9 – 15, 2005. “Heidelberg is committed to continuously developing and introducing new solutions and technologies that will help printers around the world make secure investments in their future while increasing profitability,” said James Dunn, president, Heidelberg USA. “Heidelberg draws on its 153-year heritage and reputation for quality, innovation and support to make the most sought-after sheetfed, prepress, postpress and workflow solutions for its customers.” One of Heidelberg’s main attractions will be the XL 105 Theater - a special large-screen theater for live presentations that will house Heidelberg’s new Speedmaster XL 105. The first product introduced in the company’s new series of high-end offset presses known as the “Maximum Performance Class,” the Speedmaster XL 105 boasts speeds up to 18,000 sheets per hour. The press is the newest member of Heidelberg’s Speedmaster family of highly automated and productive printing presses and produces the highest quality product at the highest speeds, on the widest variety of stocks.
