Black and white
digital A3 press.

Versafire EM.

The Versafire EM delivers outstanding quality for demanding black-and-white printing environments.

Monochrome production

Although more and more print products are requested in full color, there are still good reasons for black-and-white digital machines. Both the majority of all books content pages and most of todays personalized elements are still printed black-and-white and can be produced most cost-efficiently with a dedicated monochrome digital machine like the Versafire EM from HEIDELBERG.
