The Silent Lover
Your dream partner has the ideal figure, reads every wish from
your lips and not only answers all your needs, but spoils you
beyond your wildest dreams? Fabrice Dapoigny from France has found
such a perfect liaison (relationship): his sweetheart is humble,
doesn't always have to be in the limelight and prefers to excel
through inner qualities rather than diva-like allure. We are
talking about Dapoigny's Speedmaster SM 74.
The Speedmaster SM 74 embodies the threshold between the commercial sector and industrial offset printing as hardly any printing press has done before. This is probably why it enjoys such great popularity. With over 170 long perfecting presses with 4/4 or 5/5 technology, it serves as a benchmark for customers all over the world. On top of that is its unusual flexibility: it is available with up to ten inking units and various types of coating units and driers. And so it comes across as unimpressive and unnoticed in the shadow of its big brothers, like the Speedmaster SM 102 or even the Speedmasters CD 74 and CD 102. Wrongly so, finds Fabrice Dapoigny, Manager of the print shop Fem Offset from Choisy Le Roi, because the Speedmaster SM 74 is for him both a beauty and a real workhorse, "I can no longer imagine production without it."
Technology in detail and at its very best
The Speedmaster SM 74 possesses a suction tape feeder with central suction tape. Sheet transfer from the forwarding sucker to the suction tape thus takes place at tape speed. Furthermore, the pneumatic pull lays are maintenance-free and can be preset using a motor. In addition, the machine boasts an electromechanic and inductive double sheet detector.
For Fabrice Dapoigny, the feeder's simple operation is particularly important, "I can set up the machine for the most diverse printing stocks extremely quickly. We print grammages from 60 to 400 grams per square meter. The corresponding necessary input is taken care of on the touchscreen of the Prinect CP2000 Center - and we're done! I've already almost forgotten everything that used to be necessary for job changes before." The French print shop near Paris already has a four-color Speedmaster SM 74 with perfecting device in operation, but starting from this year it has also been using a four-color Speedmaster SM 74 with coating unit. By now, the 15-person business has come to appreciate this coating unit as much as the technical novelties of its youngest dream partner.
