The CR Series consists of three models, the CR2000, the CR1300 and the CR900, to cover a wide range of high-speed printing needs. The model number approximates the number of 8½-by-11 inch pages per minute each of these presses can produce.

With the upgrade, the CR2000 will be re-designated the CR2200, with its production speed increasing to 152 metres per minute. The CR1300 will become the CR1500, with throughput increasing to 107 metres per minute from 91 metres. And the CR900 will become the CR1000, with throughput increasing to 70 metres per minute from 63 metres.

Delphax intends to provide this increased productivity while maintaining current model pricing and the upgrade is expected to become available early next year.

This increased productivity is made possible by Delphax Technologies’ patented electron-beam imaging technology, which will be reflected in enhanced performance levels throughout the CR Series family of digital web presses, according to CEO Jay Herman.

Delphax will exhibit its flagship CR2000 digital press at IPEX and demonstrate a complete, versatile, high-speed production line of saddle-bound brochure and perfect-bound booklets, printing and finishing them at the rate of one 64-page booklet in approximately two seconds.
