Heritage Printing Service Installs Heidelberg KAMA Die Cutter
Wednesday 20. February 2008 - After the successful installation of a new 6-color Speedmaster CD 74 with perfector and aqueous coater last fall, Heritage Printing Service focused on upgrading its bindery.
The Richmond, Va. shop now proudly owns a Heidelberg KAMA TS 74-60 automatic die cutter with increased sheet dimension. Company President Bill Miles said that training is still underway for foil stamping, but that the shop is already successfully using the machine for die cutting and embossing. “This technology is a completely different animal,” Miles said. “We are excited about the options that are now available to our customers with the KAMA.” The half-format KAMA automatic die cutter system fits perfectly into Heritage Printings existing equipment lineup, running jobs straight from the Speedmaster CD 74 press. As a flexible, entry-level die cutting system, the KAMA was a natural choice for Miles and the Heritage Printing team. The die cutter is already helping produce quality brochures, advertising collateral and general commercial work for customers in the Richmond area. The all-Heidelberg shop is more than 70 years old, and is a family-run business that has relied on Heidelberg equipment since it was founded.
