Eurostampa North America, a family-owned business in Cincinnati, OH, USA, recently upgraded its plant with an 8-color Speedmaster XL 75 with UV technology from Heidelberg.

Eurostampa North America first noticed the speed and quality of the Speedmaster XL 75 at the company’s headquarter location in Italy, and the company was eager to have a similar installation in one of its North American locations. The new Speedmaster XL 75 replaces older technology, which has increased productivity by 30%.

The press produces 15,000 sheets per hour and also offers short make-ready times.

“We’ve definitely noticed a dramatic increase in speed once we purchased the press,” says Gian Franco Cillario, president and CEO of Eurostampa North America. “We are able to preset the press via Prinect, which drastically simplifies our make-ready.”

Thanks to the UV technology on the XL 75, Eurostampa does not have to wait to bring its sheets to postpress, as they are instantly dry. The UV technology can print on a variety of printing materials and produce a wide range of effects based on a customer’s desire.

“Quality is our number one priority,” says Cillario. “When we have great quality, it translates into having a great relationship with our customers. Great quality allows us to grow organically.”

Obsessed with the quality that the XL 75 creates, Eurostampa is also grateful for the SystemService team at Heidelberg. Offering large service coverage, Heidelberg offers technical, financial and performance services to ensure customers are getting the most from their equipment.

“The service is efficient,” says Cillario. “The technician stayed with us until the machine was working at peak productivity. It’s important for us to have a technician whenever we need it – I know Heidelberg has that.”
