The new double-wide press installed by El Universal is equipped with two four-story towers and two two-story towers. Its special paper-fed mechanism makes the position of the color layout very flexible. Heidelberg's mainstream newspaper printer is the world's first newspaper printer using seamless blanket technology. Its plate cylinder configuration is “1 ́4”, the ratio of printing plate and blanket roller is 1:1, and the printing speed is up to 80,000 rpm in a large package. El Universal is ready to fully convert all its printing equipment into large-format printing after the arrival of the new mainstream press.

Since 1993, Heidelberg has pioneered the seamless blanket technology and applied it to commercial printing, which has improved the quality of printing and production. "Seamless blanket eliminates the vibration and mechanical interference that occurs when the blanket cylinder gap meets during the printing process." Peter Walczak, Technical Specialist at Heidelberg Web Printing Systems, explains: "The resulting dynamic stability allows '1'4' single-double-deck double-width rollers to run at high speeds and enables 1:1 printing plates and erasers. The printing quality of the cloth roller ratio is the best." According to Mr. Walczak, the mainstream printer can save half the printing plate demand while maintaining the double-width double-width print output. He said: "This will significantly reduce the cost of making plates, save time in plate making, and enhance the feasibility of computer-to-plate." "1 ́4" printing presses in a large package Layout design is more flexible, allowing for double-page incremental layouts or making the supplements unequal pages. To meet a wide range of press printing needs, Heidelberg will develop a variety of seamless technology presses. The second-generation model, the Tristream press, will have "2 ́6", a double-width, three-width plate cylinder. The printing speed will reach a large set of 80,000 impressions per hour and a small set of 40,000 impressions per hour, making three-fold wide high-speed printing a reality for the first time.
