requirements such as fast delivery times, printing
variable data, and processing an amazingly wide
range of materials. It is even possible to combine
the two types of production in a single job.
Digital printing, for example, can be used to produce
finished products such as brochures and magazines
fully automatically on demand, to output prints in the
right order, including runs of a single copy, and to
personalize print jobs preprinted in offset. On-demand
production of this kind reduces warehousing and
logistics costs. Perforating, folding, and trimming are
also possible thanks to the option of integrating inline
finishing. Further benefits such as virtually zero paper
waste really come to the fore with short runs.
Time for Digital Printing – Time for Linoprint.Discovering New Areas of Business with Linoprint C.
The best of both worlds
The print product market is in a constant state of
flux. Completely different customer expectations,
globalization, and fierce competition on prices all
call for greater flexibility and cost-efficiency.
With the Linoprint® C series of digital printing systems
from Heidelberg®, it’s not a case of offset versus
digital printing, but rather offset plus digital printing.
Designed for the cost-efficient manufacture of short
runs and print products that are difficult or expensive
to produce using offset printing, Linoprint C combines
the benefits of both methods.
Less is more. While offset printing scores highly
when it comes to production run costs and quality,
digital printing makes it easy to meet other
Linoprint C digital printing systems enable flexible production of print products on all kinds of different media.

Your benefits with Linoprint CProductivity: Cost-efficient processing, even with short/very short runs, and a low break-even point • Flexibility:
Additional areas of business, printing on demand, personalized printing, and a wide selection of materials • Cost-
efficiency: Reduced setup times and no paper waste • Speed: Fast delivery times
No challenge too great
The digital printing systems in the Linoprint C series
score highly with their efficient production and
premium results. Other features include exceptional
flexibility without long setup times, an impressive
print output, and excellent quality – even with
challenging motifs.
The flexible all-rounder – Linoprint CV

Setting new standards in its class
With its outstanding quality and exceptional functions,
the new Linoprint CV takes efficiency, reliability, and
profitability to a whole new level. This flexible all-roun-
der is the only press in its class to go one better than
four-color printing and offer white as an additional
high-opacity color or, alternatively, a full-area or
spot coating with outstanding gloss characteristics.
It is quick and easy to switch between the white
and coating alternatives, which ensures flexible use
of these two surface finishing options.
Optimum quality dot by dot. Thanks to its innovative
laser technology, the Linoprint CV delivers razor-sharp
high-resolution images. One particular plus point is
the color toner used, which achieves a sharp, uniform
result thanks to ultra-fine particles. Other impressive
features include a large color scale and a low melting
point. This makes it possible to print on all kinds of
materials, such as heat-sensitive plastics, with
an image and color quality close to that achieved
in offset.
The Linoprint CV also demonstrates its credentials
with other challenging materials. It can be equipped
with a smoothing function that ensures flat delivery,
for example in the case of paper with a high moisture
content. An optional suction feeder is available to
reliably feed in problematic materials such as syn-
thetic foils.
Large format and short runs. The Linoprint CV is
designed for large paper formats. This enables items
such as posters and six-page print products to be
produced in short runs – in a single operation and,
thanks to the Prinect digital front end, without
complicated impositioning.
The Linoprint CV also achieves top-quality results with challenging materials such as textured paper and plastics.

Several paper magazines for short makeready
times. The Linoprint CV also supports the non-stop
production of long runs in a single pass. Several high-
capacity magazines ensure a continuous supply of
paper without an operator having to constantly
monitor the press. These magazines can be logically
linked for automatic print processes or be filled for
the next print job while the previous job is still under
way so as to minimize makeready times.
Pinpoint precision. Precise registration is essential
when printing small items such as business cards
or postcards. The Linoprint CV operates with exceptio-
nal register accuracy for every single sheet, which
means print images are positioned exactly on top of
each other in the pile for reliable finishing.
Extremely user-friendly operation. The Linoprint CV
impresses with its big new operator cockpit. The
central monitor provides a continuous overview of
all information – from the print status of each job
to fill levels and all the necessary color data. This
makes it possible to keep an eye on the progress
of printing while completing other tasks such as filling
a magazine for the next job. Operation is intuitive,
which reduces the time required to master the system.
Four-color, white, or coating – the Linoprint CV offers a wide range of surface finishing options for all kinds of substrates.
Impressive quality and productivity
• Flexible operation: Easy to switch from white
to coating and vice versa
• Precise registration: Register-accurate production
of small formats for high-precision finishing
• Unusual(ly large) formats: New design freedom
for print products
• Straightforward operation: Free choice between
digital and offset printing at all times
• Hybrid workflow: Combining offset and digital
contents in a single print product with central color
management for requirements such as
personalization
8
The ultimate in productivity
The Linoprint CP sets new standards in productivity,
quality, and availability. Its flexibility, scalability, and
wide-ranging inline finishing options make it the ideal
solution for any print volume, high or low. Short
makeready times combined with excellent register
and color accuracy ensure the best possible results.
In a class of its own. The Linoprint CP produces
top-class advertising and presentation materials along
with personalized print products, professionally
bound books, and brochures. Inline production offers
a whole host of solutions – from high-capacity
stacking, perforating, and folding all the way through
to leaflets and books with adhesive binding. The
system automates the entire production workflow,
which eliminates the need for complicated operator
interventions. What’s more, Linoprint CP processes
all kinds of materials, including challenging
substrates, with ease. An innovative color toner
with a low melting point further increases the range
of materials that can be printed.
Impressive technology. Equipped with an extra-long
paper travel facility, the Linoprint CP impresses with
its exceptionally smooth material flow at high print
speeds and its precise print quality, even with coated
or thick paper. A suction feeder is integrated as
standard for the best possible results with challenging
materials such as textured paper or plastics. The
Linoprint CP is highly automated and ensures precise
positioning. This makes it possible to complete
tasks not only more easily, but also with greater
speed, cost-efficiency, and reliability.
The flexible Linoprint CP processes all kinds of materials with impressive speed and quality.

Two-module structure for enhanced productivity.
The digital printing system has a two-module structure
to ensure maximum efficiency and high availability.
The fixing and imaging units are physically separate.
This provides plenty of space for working, which
reduces downtimes during makeready and is also bene-
ficial when working on the press. What’s more, any
paper blockage that occurs can be quickly located
and reliably rectified. A second, easy-change cart-
ridge for each color is integrated to ensure fast toner
changes – an additional plus for continuous production.
Color matching boosts quality automatically.
The Linoprint CP digital printing system has a feed-
back control system that automatically corrects key
parameters such as contrast, color shading, and
CMYK ink coverage. If print products are to be pro-
duced using both offset and digital printing, this means
color matching of the two methods is also possible.
Precise, high-performance results whatever
the task
• Impressive productivity: Developed specifically
for optimum results and maximum performance
levels
• Versatile finishing: Large selection of inline
finishing options such as automatic stitching,
stacking, perforating, folding, and adhesive
binding in a single system
• Continuous production: The system’s two-module
structure with separate fixing and imaging units
and new vacuum suction feed reduces downtimes
• Wide range of materials: Reliable production,
even with difficult materials, thanks to new fuser
and innovative toner
• High level of automation: More user-friendly
operation with straightforward setup
There are two toner cartridges for each color. These are easily accessible and can be changed on the fly.

Optimized for the printing industry’s needs
Short production times, fast job changes, and perso-
nalization – the Prinect digital front end specifically
developed for the Linoprint CV and Linoprint CP digital
printing systems provides uncompromising support for
the printing process. It achieves this through Heidelberg
color management and the Heidelberg renderer,
two technologies tried and tested in offset printing.
The Prinect digital front end also includes a complete
workflow server. This enables the manufacturing
process for digital print products to be automated
and standardized – for excellent efficiency, greater
transparency, and a noticeably faster job flow.
The result:
• Exceptionally flexible digital printing
• Reliable quality and color management
• Intelligent functions from design to postpress
High productivity with the Prinect digital front end
Short-run print jobs are typical of digital printing.
What’s more, the print media need to be changed for
virtually every job, so simply optimizing the printing
processes on the press is not enough. All steps before
and after printing also need to be taken into account.
Prinect Digital Front End.The Intuitive User Interface.
The Prinect digital front end makes all the benefits of the print shop workflow available for the Linoprint CV and Linoprint CP digital printing systems.
11
Prepress and postpress. The Prinect digital front end
is based on sequences that can be automated.
All steps – including job creation, preflight checking,
color management, and impositioning – can be
performed manually or saved as linked sequences
for repeat jobs. This makes it possible to reliably
reproduce any print job in just a few simple steps.
In addition to this, the Prinect digital front end
supports prepress with a special softproof workflow
that removes the need for time-consuming test prints.
It also supports the finishing options of the Linoprint
digital printing systems, which means that many
digital print products can be produced ready for sale
in a single operation. These individual steps can
also be saved and subsequently re-used for fast,
automated production of standard products.
Document-oriented workflow. In digital printing,
the focus is always on the finished print product.
The Prinect digital front end supports this production
approach with a document-oriented imposition
layout that helps prevent costly production errors.
Settings such as preflighting, color matching or printer output can be flexibly combined to automatically running workflows.
With the live layout preview, the print result can be checked quickly on the monitor without any test prints.
12
Transparent production. Effective administration of
job lists on the press is the basis for any optimized
production. Jobs can be combined and grouped, for
example according to the particular printing medium.
What’s more, with the Prinect digital front end and
the new Heidelberg renderer technology, digital and
offset print products are produced using the same
process. This seamlessly optimizes consistency of
color and form between the two production methods
without any additional outlay.
Personalized printing. The Prinect digital front end
facilitates the production of personalized data in
PDF/VT format. This enables all prepress processes
to be used without any in-depth knowledge of
personalized printing.
Central digital printing cockpit with optimized
user interface. Linoprint digital printing systems are
operated via a central cockpit that displays the pro-
gress of all jobs along with all production parameters
that have an impact on print quality. Making changes
whenever they are needed is quick and easy. In addi-
tion to production parameters, it is also possible to
change the production sequence, for example to incre-
ase the digital printing systems’ capacity utilization.
Personalized PDF-VT-Jobs can also be processed with live preview of each data record like any other job.
In the queue view orders can be managed and combined to be produced together
The Prinect Digital Frontend contains effective tools for true color reproduction.
