Commercials Print Partner to cut 'a million' waste sheets with Heidelberg Anicolor

One of Commercial’s key print partner’s is expecting to save more than a million sheets of paper a year thanks to the faster makeready times of its new Heidelberg Anicolor press.

The Hereford-based company is also making a push for a hat-trick of environmental accreditations with the new machine, anticipating it will reduce paper, inks and coatings waste.

Managing director Mike Greene said he expects to have FSC and PEFC certifications, and ISO 14001 "finalised within three months" following the Anicolor installation.

The kit will join a Heidelberg pressroom that already includes a 10-colour SM 52 and two Suprasetter A52 platesetters running Saphira Chem-Free plates.

Greene said: "It's very fast to makeready, is easy to run and, critically, it reduces your start-up waste. We are seeing it makeready in 10 to 12 sheets only. The four-colour plus coater machine has replaced a five-colour Speedmaster SM 52 when the printer took delivery in January.
