processed, you can already be preparing the next. By
intelligently using all relevant data from the current
job and the next one, up to 70 percent fewer steps
are needed to set up the press for the subsequent job.
You will save at least one minute on each job change
compared to previous makeready times. Depending
on the number of jobs and their complexity, you can
raise your annual production capacities by up to eight
percent.
The wallscreen delivers an innovative edge. A large-
scale monitor integrated into the extraneous light
shield provides a unique overview of all press opera-
tions. The Speedmaster CD 102 is depicted in cut-out
prole with all functions dynamically simulated. The
wallscreen not only delivers 100 percent transpar-
ency, it also functions as an impressive tool for print
approval processes. It depicts the width of the print
sheet in actual size relative to the ink zones, with
each color separation being displayed separately if
you wish. You can also use the wallscreen to control
and operate a whole range of additional applications,

The Perfect Start.
The Preset Plus Feeder Creates the Ideal
Conditions for Achieving the Optimum Printing
Process.
The perfect start for productivity the Preset Plus Feeder.
10
A step ahead from the very outset. The Preset Plus
Feeder gets your production process off to the best
possible start. One reason for this lies in its high level
of automation. All key settings can be preset, and the
vast majority of manual operations can be avoided.
This saves time and delivers a competitive edge.
Automatically set for success. The high-performance
suction head, central suction tape and pneumatic pull
lays are integrated in such a way that manual setting
is largely unnecessary. This effectively reduces make-
ready times.
Designed for top speed. The Preset Plus Feeder is
designed for high and reliable production speeds
across the entire range of materials from 0.03 mm to
1 mm (0.0012 in to 0.039 in). For example, a speed-
compensated rotary valve on the suction head en-
sures ultra-precise sheet separation. The multi-cham-
ber design of the central suction tape can be adjusted
for whatever suction air is required and delivers fault-
less and precise sheet feed into the rst printing unit.
Venturi nozzles located near the front lays ensure the
sheet lies perfectly at and correctly aligned.
Integrated controls for stable production. The Preset
Plus Feeder has a multi-stage sheet monitoring
system. The multiple sheet detector prevents multiple
sheets being transported to the feed table. Just like
the pull lay double-sheet detection system, the ultra-
sonic double-sheet detection system also identies
sheets that are stuck together. Shingle stream control
is recommended as an additional safeguard when
processing cardboard. This system monitors the entire
stream for irregularities such as tear-offs, thereby
preventing any damage to the blankets.
Autopile provides automatic material ow. Autopile,
the roller conveyor system for automatic pallet trans-
port, ensures that the feeder receives an uninterrupt-
ed supply of printing stock and transports the pile of
printed cardboard away from the delivery. When used
in conjunction with the automatic non-stop feeder, it
delivers fully automatic pile changes at the touch of a
button, with no need for manual operations.
Non-stop device for continuous production.
The automatic non-stop device makes changing piles
far easier. You can activate all functions at the touch
of a button. Manual intervention is no longer neces-
sary. As a result, you can print large runs quickly and
continuously without needing to carry out time-
consuming manual pile changes.

Precision for Top Results.
How the Printing Unit and Sheet Travel of the
Speedmaster CD 102 Deliver Reliable Quality.
12
Carefully conceived technology and the ultimate in ergonomics
the printing units of the Speedmaster CD 102.
The printing unit thought through down to the last
detail. Top print quality requires absolute precision.
The tried-and-tested technology of the printing units
in the Speedmaster CD 102 is designed with pre-
cisely this in mind. The cylinder arrangement ensures
smooth sheet travel for all grammages from thin
paper to stiff card.
Plate changes in an instant. With the automated plate
changer AutoPlate every plate is clamped quickly and
true-to-register.
Inking technology. The Speedmaster CD 102 is
equipped with extremely quick-action ink fountains.
Whats more, components in the inking unit help
to effectively cut your makeready times and waste.
These include the preinking prole, the intelligent pre-
and post-dampening program, and the automatic dis-
tributor switchoff that ensures the color prole is not
lost when printing is interrupted. The point at which
the distributor comes into play can be adjusted on the
y via the Prinect Press Center using the distributor
remote control function.
Faster inking unit reaction for rapid changes. Color
adjustment is further optimized by the software-con-
trolled Color Fast Solution module, which speeds up
inking unit response by 50 to 70 percent. When there
are large changes in the volume of ink applied, auto-
matic monitoring of the dampening solution quantity
delivers a uniform ink/water balance, which ensures
stable print quality.
The optimum temperature for stable conditions.
To achieve highest productivity it is possible to equip
the Speedmaster CD 102 with the inking unit tempera-
ture control system CombiStar. To do this, three ink
distributors and the fountain roller on each printing
unit are replaced with the patented Heidelberg rollers
and their temperatures are controlled. Regulating the
temperature ensures stable printing conditions and ink
densities, allowing you to increase production speeds
and cut down on waste.
Alcolor the successful dampening system for high
productivity. The speed-compensated dampening
system Alcolor with pneumatically switchable
inter mediate roller that functions as a link to the ink-
ing unit ensures an incredibly thin lm of dampen-
ing solution and a consistent ink/water balance. As a
result, you benet from optimum dampening regard-
less of the printing speed, outstanding color brilliance,
and quick drying. The dampening system Alcolor can
be easily converted for alcohol-reduced printing.
The Vario function of the dampening system removes
dirt particles from the plate during the production
run. This effectively prevents hickeys and helps avoid
any disruption to production processes.
Modular washup devices clean up quickly. The modu-
lar blanket washup device follows a carefully thought-
through design concept. Its oscillating, counter-rotat-
ing brush delivers superb washup results. WashStar
removes used cleaning agent and automatically rinses
the collecting pans. Whats more, production can
even recommence while WashStar is operating.
Sheets that travel on a cushion of air. The AirTransfer
system of the Speedmaster CD 102 ensures scratch-
and mark-free sheet travel. Venturi nozzles create
a cushion of air that guides sheets from one printing
unit to the next without coming into contact with
the printing stock right up to the delivery. The
AirTransfer system is automatically activated when
a paper thickness of less than 0.3 mm (0.012 in) is
entered on the central Prinect Press Center.
The printing unit and sheet travel at a glance:

devices. Productivity: Color Fast Solution enables you to speed up inking unit reactions by 50 to 70 percent.
Quality: Mark- and scratch-free transfer from printing unit to printing unit thanks to the AirTransfer system. You
benet from a stable ink/water balance throughout the entire run thanks to the CombiStar inking unit temperature
control system and the Alcolor dampening system. Integration: You can quickly and easily control all functions of
the AirTransfer system via the central Prinect Press Center. The Prinect Press Center also enables you to remotely
adjust the points at which the distributors come into play on the y.

The Art of the Special Surface.
The Coating Units of the Speedmaster CD 102
Meet the Most Exacting of Requirements.
14
Choose the coating system that suits your needs.
Different coating requirements demand different tech-
nologies. That is why we offer a range of coating sys-
tems that can be used in the Speedmaster CD 102.
Decide for yourself you can choose between a
two-roller system and a chambered blade system.
The latter is available in a conventional system or
as a Flexokit for special applications. In addition
to these systems there is also the Modular
Coating System in the nal printing unit of the
Speedmaster CD 102, which is ideal for those just
starting off in coating applications. Whether entry-
level system or high-end version make sure you
get the right system for your requirements.
You can choose from several different systems when selecting the
coating unit for your Speedmaster CD 102.
Flexokit perfect for the most exacting of needs.
The closed chambered blade system of the
Speedmaster CD 102 coating unit makes sure you can
meet even the most demanding of customer require-
ments. This system is the ideal solution, particularly
if you often need to process special coatings such as
metalures, gold, silver, iriodine and inks that foam
easily. It is perfect for folding carton, label and com-
mercial printers who work with these coatings.
Designed to deliver quality. You can adjust the diago-
nal register in the coating unit by +/ 1 mm (0.039 in)
via the Prinect Press Center. This is especially impor-
tant for the quality of spot coatings.
Modular Coating System the ideal entry-level
solution. The Modular Coating System is the most
cost-effective solution if you only apply coatings to
a small proportion of your print jobs. The cham-
bered blade system can be installed in place of the
blanket washup device in the nal printing unit of a
Speedmaster CD 102 that does not have a coating
unit. This increases exibility because the nal print-
ing unit can be used either as a normal offset printing
unit or as a coating system for full-area dispersion
coatings.
Save time with the coating supply unit. The univer-
sal coating supply system CoatingStar signicantly
cuts your makeready times when changing coatings.
Thanks to CANopen, the system can be operated at
the units convenient control panel or centrally at the
Prinect Press Center. Minimizing the amount of resid-
ual coating left in the system delivers visible savings.
CoatingStar processes all types of coatings.

Dry and Ready for Finishing.
The Dryer Systems in the Speedmaster CD 102
Speed up Your Production Times.
DryStar Combination is perfectly attuned to sheet travel in the
Speedmaster CD 102.
16
Systematic drying. The special, highly efcient
dryer systems help you harness the full potential
of the application spectrum covered by your
Speedmaster CD 102. Depending on your needs you
can choose between drying units and an end-of-press
dryer all tailored to your specic applications. As
a result, you can accelerate nishing and speed up
delivery.
The drying units for special press confgurations:
Speedmaster CD 102 double-coating congurations
(e.g. Speedmaster CD 102-6+LYYL)
Speedmaster CD 102 Duo presses
(e.g. Speedmaster CD 102-LY-6+L)
Speedmaster CD 102 coating presses
(e.g. Speedmaster CD 102-LYYL), these are
equipped with DryStar LYL, which consists of hot
air/IR dryers that can be exibly congured.
The DryStar end-of-press dryer efciency in the
delivery. The dryer DryStar Combination, which is
integrated into the delivery, is the ideal drying solution
for coating applications. It combines infrared, hot-air
and circulating air modules. Optimally attuning the
drying system to the press delivers a previously
unimaginable level of efciency.
The system is easy to use and, thanks to CANopen,
can be operated from the Prinect Press Center or the
delivery control panel. An automatic dryer mechanism
implements all settings for standard jobs. DryStar
Advanced means that all dryer settings can be stored
with the relevant job. This dramatically cuts setup
times for repeat jobs.
When using the Modular Coating System, only DryStar
Coating is required in the short delivery. The dryer
consists of a plug-in unit that combines IR and hot
air.
UV drying as an integrated concept. The DryStar sys-
tem delivers full exibility and maximizes the produc-
tivity of the Speedmaster CD 102. And these benets
now apply to UV printing, too. For this purpose, each
unit can be tted with a dryer preparation facility
that enables a UV interdeck dryer for ink hardening
to be installed at the required position in a matter
of minutes, without the need for tools. A UV delivery
dryer with up to three lamps in the extended delivery
ensures reliable hardening of the UV coating. The unit
is operated simply and quickly at the Prinect Press
Center.
Unfortunately, UV lamps can also create unwanted
heat radiation, which can distort the printing stock.
The solution comes in the form of CoolCure UV,
which uses an inertization process a cold form of
UV drying to dramatically cut heat radiation. This
ensures that even sensitive printing stocks can be
safely processed at high production speeds. Lower
temperatures in the pile also mean theres no need to
wait for long periods before you can begin nishing
operations.
Instant Start minimizes washup times. In UV print-
ing, dryers previously had to be switched off during
washup procedures to guard against an explosion.
The lamps had to cool down, solvent vapors had to be
extracted, and the dryers started up again. This cost
printshops valuable time. With Instant Start, there are
no costly waiting times when washing the blanket.
This saves you up to eight minutes on each washup
procedure.

The presettable, dynamic sheet brake decelerates
sheets in a controlled manner. To do this, the brake
modules are accelerated to close on production speed
each time a sheet travels through them. As soon as
the brake has a secure hold on the sheet, the speed
is reduced to the preset delivery speed.
The presettable delivery air system uses a stream of
air that can be precisely calibrated to ensure that the
pile is formed with the neatly aligned edges essential
for optimum nishing.
Fast and straightforward thanks to automatic settings.
When you input the sheet format and grammage, the
delivery format and air settings are automatically
preset. This function signicantly reduces your make-
ready times.
Additional settings are made centrally on the Prinect
Press Center or by using the jogwheel on the easy-to-
use delivery control panel. This streamlines processes
and provides direct access during production, thereby
saving you valuable time.
The Preset Plus Delivery at a glance:
Dynamic sheet brake and delivery air system for
optimum, mark-free quality all the way to the pile
Transmission of all preset values from the Prinect
Press Center to the delivery
Automatic positioning of all sheet guidance
elements
Fine adjustment easily performed using the
jogwheel on the delivery control panel
The ultimate mark-free quality with the dynamic sheet brake.
Get Prinected. Prinect is the printshop workow and
your path to integrated print production. Prinect
brings together production and management pro-
cesses in a single workow. Get Prinected for op-
timized processes and greater cost efciency in your
printshop.
Active management of the printing process based on
stored data. The aim of every printshop is to produce
print products rapidly, cost-effectively and to the high-
est quality standards. Cost-effective print production
begins when a job is accepted and costed and contin-
ues through the prepress and press stages to nishing
and invoicing. The only way you can make decisions
based on sound data and actively manage processes
is if you have up-to-the-minute information on how
each job is progressing. Print jobs can then be imple-
mented within the tightest of timeframes and you
can keep a handle on quality and costs even when
unscheduled changes need to be made.
End-to-end transparency accelerates decision making.
Prinect, the printshop workow, is based on the uni-
versal data format JDF. This renders each individual
process transparent, thereby enabling end-to-end
management of the printshop. Everybody involved in
the process uses a single stock of data, the central
JDF document, which incorporates all relevant infor-
mation in a digital job folder. Prinect is made up of
various software and hardware modules that can be
combined according to your requirements. The level
of integration in your printshop is determined solely
by your needs, but can be altered or expanded at any
time. Other makes of system can also be integrated.
Ultimate automation and direct control. Prinect can
do even more though. It automates processes that
have previously been executed manually, making
them far faster and less prone to errors. This frees
you up from routine tasks while enabling you to stay
in full control at all times, so that you can intervene
and make adjustments if necessary. Heidelberg is
therefore the only manufacturer to offer a printshop
workow that integrates and manages the entire print
production process Prinect.

Get Prinected. The Prinect Press Center control sta-
tion integrates the press into the Prinect workow.
Prinected. Prepress ink presettings reduce makeready
times and waste. Short makeready times are essential
to cost-efcient production in the modern printshop.
This is also where Prinect integration can have a
major impact. Prinect links the pressroom to prepress
operations, thereby providing direct access to ink
presetting data from the prepress stage at the press
itself, where it can be used to automatically adjust ink
zones.
There is no faster way to ink up even the rst pull
brings you close to the OK sheet. Whats more, the
Prinect Press Center also generates a job preview,
which enables you to easily identify and select the
right job. A further benet of the Prinect Press Center
is that it allows you to load and prepare the next job
in line while production of the previous job is still
underway. Your press productivity will be dramatically
increased.
Prinected. Consistent color quality and proof and
print results that match. In order to satisfy both qual-
ity requirements and commercial concerns equally,
it is important to standardize the printing process.
This ensures that the desired quality can be achieved
at all times. That is why Prinect includes calibra-
tion, proling and quality control tools that make
sure your proof and your print result match, that
the Speedmaster CD 102 inks up fast, and that the
press delivers consistent production quality. A unique
closed loop between prepress and press makes sure
the current job always keeps on track. For example, if
a new batch of ink causes the dot gain to change, the
color measuring system will register this and transmit
it direct to prepress so that characteristic curves and
proles can be adjusted accordingly. The next set of
printing plates are immediately adapted to the new
production conditions and all color-related production
parameters are also available for repeat jobs and for
prole adjustment in the creation of proofs. Thanks
to Prinect, proof, plate and printing are integrated for
the rst time into an end-to-end color control pro-
cess.
Prinected. Cost transparency makes management
and costing easier. The Prinect Press Center of the
Speedmaster CD 102 integrates the press directly into
Prinect business management processes. Current pro-
duction data is recorded centrally and made available
in real time for costing, planning and other commer-
cial processes. This means you can identify the exact
stage that a job has reached at any one time, which is
crucial when you need to quickly ascertain the work-
load involved in making changes. In other words, you
no longer need to spend vast amounts of time look-
ing into a job and making a whole series of inquiries.
Prinect takes care of everything and can analyze and
present each job quickly and concisely.
Advantages for your printing process:
Makeready times: Presetting your press using prepress data helps cut your makeready time dramatically.
Productivity: Shorter makeready times and minimum waste boost your productivity. Quality: Optimized and
standardized processes enable you to achieve maximum and stable quality standards. Integration: The ultimate
data management solution delivers benets throughout the entire workow.
Working in Perfect Harmony.

ductivity, and high print quality are essential qualities
that make a printshop successful. To achieve this
success, all the components that go to make up a
press must be perfectly coordinated. That is why
we offer both presses and peripherals from a single
source.
All the units are developed directly by Heidelberg
or in close cooperation with well-known suppliers.
Installation and servicing are carried out by the
renowned Heidelberg service network. All this helps

The advantages of reel printing in sheetfed offset.
The sheeter CutStar ensures that reel stock is pro-
cessed efciently by the Speedmaster CD 102. The
cheaper cost of reel stock and the ability to vary sheet
cutoff lengths can help you reduce your printing stock
costs considerably. The exible installation of CutStar
allows you to switch between sheet and reel modes in
a matter of minutes.

Smooth sheet travel for difcult printing stock.
With StaticStar Compact and StaticStar Advanced,
Heidelberg offers a high-quality anti-static system for
feeder and delivery that ensures excellent sheet sepa-
ration in the feeder pile, smooth sheet travel and neat
pile formation.
Heidelberg also offers foil printers a foil package
specially designed for the Speedmaster CD 102 that
makes it far easier to process printing stock that
is very thin or can easily become electrostatically
charged.
The right Star for the printing unit. The ultra-efcient
ink supply system InkStar is the ideal solution
for automatically lling the ink fountains of the
Speedmaster CD 102. In contrast to conventional ink
metering, the 2 kg (4.41 lbs) ink cartridges this system
uses are completely emptied using compressed air,
leaving virtually no residual ink in spent cartridges.
As a result, your ink consumption is signicantly
reduced.
Cold foil nishing for dazzling effects. With FoilStar,
the cold foil module from Heidelberg, you can pro-
duce a whole host of exceptional surface nishes for
labels, packaging, and high-end commercial work,
offering stunning metallic effects that create excel-
lent added value for your customers print products.
Two printing units are involved in applying cold foil
with FoilStar. The rst of these applies fast-drying
adhesive via an offset printing plate. In the second,
the cold foil unit, the foil and sheet are fed into the
nip between the blanket and impression cylinders and
pressure is applied to transfer foil to the areas of the
sheet coated in adhesive. Cold foil nishing offers you
all the benets of offset printing with the same high
productivity levels you have come to expect from your
Speedmaster.
Minimum powder consumption and soiling.
The PowderStar AP 500 from Heidelberg is a unique
powder spray device. The 24 powder nozzles in its
three powder spray tubes distribute powder evenly
over the sheet. Because it operates at a higher
application pressure than conventional systems, less
powder is deected from the sheet. Powder is applied
more efciently and you therefore need less. In addi-
tion, far less cleaning is required.
The process air cleaning system CleanStar collects
any stray powder and extracts it via four suction
points positioned around the delivery pile. An auto-
matic self-cleaning facility in the delivery air system
and additional brushes for cleaning the gripper bars
and chains make CleanStar even more efcient.
Energy efciency and a stable pressroom climate.
Heidelberg uses only ultra energy-efcient systems in
the Speedmaster CD 102. A good example of one of
these systems is the air supply cabine AirStar, which
is twice as efcient as conventional systems thanks to
its unique turbo radial technology.
The water cooling systems which use water to ef-
ciently remove waste heat from the press cut energy
consumption while ensuring a stable pressroom cli-
mate. This creates the ideal conditions for achieving
optimum print results.
