HEIDELBERG launches Jetfire 75

Print press manufacturer, Heidelberger Druckmaschinen (HEIDELBERG), has announced the availability of its B2-format Jetfire 75 press, expanding its portfolio for industrial digital printing.

The new Jetfire inkjet press, which follows the release of the B3-format Jetfire 50, comes fully embedded within HEIDELBERG’s existing digital ecosystem which encompasses machines, software, consumables, service, and training.

The company claims that the new solution provides a “level of productivity that has never been seen before in digital printing.”

Technical highlights of the Jetfire 75 include water-based inkjet technology, 1200dpi resolution in B2+ format, speeds of up to 9,800 four-up sheets per hour in simplex, and a reported annual production output of up to 58 million four-up simplex sheets.

The Jetfire 75 offers a substrate range of 60 to 450gsm, including compatibility with selected cardboards.

The press also aims to provide enhanced automation capabilities, with a fully automated quality control and self-service concept, and full integration with both Prinect’s production management tools and its Touch Free AI-powered cloud software.

Dr. David Schmedding, chief technology and sales officer at HEIDELBERG, says: “Following on from the successful market launch of the Jetfire 50, we are sending out a clear signal with the Jetfire 75 – namely that HEIDELBERG is shaping the future of digital industrial print production and taking it to a whole new level.

“We are combining the strengths of our sheetfed offset printing presses with innovative digital printing solutions to create a hybrid production environment that offers our customers maximum flexibility and efficiency.”

Customers can place orders for the Jetfire 75 with immediate effect. From summer 2026, the press will be available for customer demonstrations at the company’s Print Media Center in Wiesloch-Walldorf, Germany. The first presses are due to be installed in autumn of 2026.
