Burke Group of Edmonton, Canada recently signed the First North American Heidelberg Subscription contract,  without the challenges that come with equipment ownership. The contract includes a new Speedmaster XL 106 8-color perfector with coater and LE UV curing, a Stahlfolder TH 82-P with the high performance PFX pallet feeder, and a POLAR N 137 cutting machine.

They will join a Speedmaster SM 52 and Speedmaster SX 52 in their press room. Through the Subscription Model, Heidelberg provides everything Burke needs – new Heidelberg equipment, Prinect software, Saphira consumables, parts, consulting, and service all for a monthly fee that is based on the number of printed sheets Burke produces each month.
