After a first Jetfire 50 in B3 format launched at Drupa 2024, Heidelberg presents a Jetfire 75 in B2+. This 614 mm x 750 mm inkjet press is now available to order. The Jetfire 75 is suitable for short, medium and long runs of brochures, flyers, catalogs, books and magazines, labels, stickers, posters and calendars.
The Prinect Touch Free for identifying the most cost-effective printing technology
The Jetfire 75 is integrated into the Prinect Production workflow, which handles both offset and digital printing on the shop floor. And Heidelberg has equipped the new press with the Prinect Touch Free tool. This module uses AI and real-time data to decide whether a job should go digital or offset, depending on production costs.
Color consistency between different printing processes is preserved thanks to its color management tools, says the German manufacturer. With Prinect Touch Free, the Jetfire 75 is capable of handling over 1,000,000 jobs per day in fully automated mode.
Speed, media and quality: what the data sheet says
The Jetfire 75 is based on water-based inkjet technology, advertised at 1âeuros200 dpi. Its output is around 9,800 4-up sheets (recto) per hour, or 39âeuros000 A4 pages, and 7,200 6-up sheets, or almost 43âeuros000 A4 sheets per hour. The new press could produce 58 million four-positions single-sided sheets per year.
The range of substrates extends from 60 to 450 g/m2, including certain types of cardboard. The inkjet machine also features automated quality control and a "self-service" concept: trained operators can carry out certain maintenance tasks themselves. Only a few days' training are needed to get to grips with the machine.
The Jetfire 75 will be on show from summer 2026 at the Print Media Center in Wiesloch-Walldorf, Germany.
The first installations are scheduled for autumn 2026.
