SCARBOROUGH, ON—Tower Litho, a Scarborough-based trade printer, has installed a Heidelberg XL106 UV press. The company has been in operation since 1971.


The  Heidelberg was acquired to increase production, and take advantage of the press’ ability to print on different substrates including card stock, paper and plastic, at speeds up to 18,000 SPH. The new addition means a 20 percent increase in production without compromising quality. The company also chose to upgrade its colour package, which includes Prinect Impress Control 2, an inline measuring and control system.

The print shop is also home to an 8 Colour 40-inch Heidelberg perfecting press with inline AQ, and 5 colour 40-inch Heidelberg Press, an HP Indigo 7500 press to tackle digital, as well as an EFI Vutek GS2000 flatbed and digital diecutter.

In addition to maintaining its current client base, Tower Litho hopes to attract new clients with its latest installation.
