Edelmann Group and Landa Digital Printing have announced that 60 converters and printers from around the world attended an open house at Edelmann’s Heidenheim facility to see Europe’s first Landa S10 Nanographic printing press, producing commercial jobs at 6,500 B1/41″ sheets per hour.

Visitors heard how the Landa S10 complements Edelmann’s offset technology and how its brand customers now request its new Nanographic printing capability because of the freedom it offers – to order what they want, when they want it – all with high and consistent print quality.

“In the print and packaging world, everyone is clamoring to know if our Landa S10 is running as expected. We repeatedly get asked if print quality is good and if we’re running seven colors. They also ask if we’re achieving 6,500 B1/41″ sheets per hour and if we’re able to produce commercial jobs,” comments Oliver Bruns, CEO, Edelmann Group. “The simple answer to all of that is, yes of course. The Landa S10 is built to be a full production machine, 24/7. The colors are brilliant and vibrant – so intense and lively. I haven’t seen any other technology that comes close.

“Before installing the Landa S10, we were limited in the solutions we could offer our customers. B1/41″ digital printing with seven colors and at 6,500 sheets per hour has eliminated these previous constraints. The S10 installation has been a great success, and we now expect to be out of beta in a matter of weeks,” confirms Bruns.

Speaking at the open house, Bruns also acknowledged that partnering with Landa was the best decision for their business. “This is not just a supplier-customer relationship, it’s far more. I love the color from our S10, but crucially, the Landa technology allows us to get a good ROI and that’s just as essential. High speed and great efficiency enable us to earn money with the press,” says Bruns.

Yishai Amir, CEO, Landa Digital Printing, comments, “We are obviously thrilled with the success of the Landa S10 at Edelmann, and we are looking forward to moving them out of beta within weeks. This success echoes our own business progress on all fronts. With a continued ramp-up of production and go-to-market operations, we will have presses installed and printing across three continents by the end of 2019.”
