The trends are towards more versions 

and shorter run lengths, which will require 

more make-readies and labor efficient 

printing presses. Ever faster and wider 

presses will dominate the heatset offset 

segment and can deliver optimal priceperformance 

ratios and help to keep web 

offset competitive in the future.

When it comes down to it, just about everything in the print 

industry is about making printed products more attractive and 

increasing sales. In high-end magazines and printed advertising, 

corporate brochures and packaging, the trend is increasingly 

towards versatile finishing systems, such as spot varnishing, foil 

laminating or intelligent post-press-processing. 

This is a growth market, especially in packaging. This new technology 

must, increasingly, be integrated into the normal print 

process. BALDWIN meets these rising demands on sheetfed 

print machines with innovative machinery and consumables.

Long-run magazines, catalogues and printed advertising have to compete 

increasingly against electronic media. To do this, conventional print media, 

like magazines and catalogues, are becoming increasingly target-group 

oriented, which means shorter runs, make-readies and tighter production 

windows. To meet these dynamic web offset market conditions, presses are 

getting wider, faster and more automated and BALDWIN process automation 

and consumable solutions are setting the new standards required to meet 

this increasingly demanding print process.

NEWSPAPER & SEMI-COMMERCIAL 



To address rapidly changing market dynamics and challenges, 

newspaper print centers are transitioning from cost to profit centers, 

and expanding their reach into new print segments with new print 

and production capabilities. The newspaper printing operation of 

the future will offer a myriad of new print and production services 

under one roof, which means ever shorter production windows, 

higher print quality on a wider range of paper at maximum press 

speeds with 24 / 7 press utilization. A new generation of on-press 

automation meets these new production challenges, while also 

addressing tighter environmental guidelines. On-press process 

automation systems and the consumables they utilize must 

work perfectly together. BALDWIN products make an essential 

contribution to this.

12 Research & Development 

Research & Development 13 

Where RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT set 

the standards in productivity and environmental efficiency 

It is both an obligation and a challenge to optimise our systems, consumables and process 

know-how and to better understand how we can unlock greater synergies within the entire 

print process, while also improving the environmental efficiency of the offset printing 

process. We therefore see our continued investment in innovation through research & 

development as being a critical commitment and core component of our plan to ensure 

the future success of our company by bringing greater values to our customers.

Market 

Our research & development concentrates on the benefits to you: 

more economical, safe, durable and environmentally efficient printing. 

Small changes, big impact 

As we know from our experience, making 

even minor changes to print parameters 

can have a major impact on other system 

components involved. Our research & 

development departments look at the 

print process as a whole, and take into 

consideration all the processes and 

materials. 

Step by step to success 

In developing new products, extensive 

testing is essential: because each prod uct 

must work smoothly on different 

printing presses and under the widest 

possible range of conditions. 

Qualified specialists in physics, chemistry, 

electronics, software development, 

mechanical engineering and print 

technology work together at BALDWIN 

to ensure optimal results. Research & 

development always starts by meeting 

a market or customer need, and it is 

quite common to find our interdisciplinary 

teams working with universities 

on truly fundamental research. 

As they progress, we build a pilot 

plant and conduct extensive testing 

of products in a wide range of target 

markets and print applications worldwide: 

only after this intensive process 

will a new development be released to 

market and into full production. Once 

commissioned, we assist in optimising 

each unit, taking into account the 

individual conditions of our markets 

and customers. 

Why spend so much? To ensure our 

customers are satisfied long-term. 

Because we make sure that each of the 

individual components within our 

comprehensive product portfolio will 

work with one another perfectly and 

deliver the decisive synergies needed 

to ensure the highest value and a fast 

return on investment.

14 Sustainability 

Sustainability 15 

SUSTAINABILITY is good for your business 

By using BALDWIN 

products, you can demonstrate 

a commitment 

to the environment, 

while also improving the 

profitability of your 

printing. 

Use less water 

BALDWIN equipment conditions, controls temperature and filters fountain 

solution. Our wide range of filtration units keep fountain solution viable 

and in production longer, ensuring you can use less additive and reduce your 

fresh water consumption considerably. 

BALDWIN is committed to developing equipment, systems and consumables that combine 

best in class environmental efficiency with the highest standards in performance and 

productivity. Reducing the energy, solvents, VOCs and waste you utilize and generate will 

be good for your business image and financials, good for the planet and will be critical to 

keeping printing a competitive communications choice. 

Create less waste 

BALDWIN filtration units will help you reduce the amount of fountain solution 

waste you generate considerably. 

Innovative energy savings 

BALDWIN’s advanced cooling systems utilize free cooling where frequencycontrolled 

drives cut in only when required, adjusting power automatically to 

eliminate the unnecessary use of energy. 

Environmental legislation and regulations 

are constantly being tightened 

worldwide, and BALDWIN systems and 

consumables will deliver important benefits 

as you put into place plans to meet 

the tighter guidelines and sustainability 

standards that await us all in the near 

future. 

Specifically, this means 

• Using less energy and reducing 

emissions 

• Using fewer chemicals and cleaning 

agents, and disposing of them safely 

• Saving on water and paper – and 

so protecting resources 

• Being certified to sustainability 

standards (e. g. EMAS, ISO 14001, 

‘carbon-neutral printing’) 

At BALDWIN, we are working constantly 

to improve our products, to ensure they 

are all environmentally efficient and 

will today meet the tighter guidelines 

and regulations of the future. We are 

also actively engaged as a company in 

pro tecting the environment by designing 

workplaces, production processes 

and practices that are environmentally 

friendly. 

BALDWIN internal energy 

supply system: 

Friedberg’s Sheetfed & Commercial-Web 

competence center has a state-of-the-art 

energy supply system, including a number 

of modules, such as wood pellet heating, 

heat recycling, building temperature 

control and concrete core activation. 

Just ask! Your BALDWIN 

sales professional will be pleased 

to discuss how we can assist you in 

becoming a more 

environmentally 

efficient printer. 

Use less paper 

BALDWIN cleaning systems reduce wash cycle times and accomplish this 

with considerably less consumable usage and operator involvement. The end 

result is a more highly tuned automatic blanket cleaning technology that 

will substantially lower total paper waste and consumable costs. Replacing 

an older cleaning system with new ImpactFusion cleaning will in most cases 

produce an ROI (return on investment) of less than a year. 

Use fewer cleaning solvents and chemicals 

Our PREPAC impregnated cleaning cloths contain only the amount of 

cleaning agent needed to clean a blanket or impression cylinder perfectly. 

Chemicals only go where they are needed, and therefore minimize the 

contamination of the fountain solution. PREPAC is a low VOC cleaning consumable 

and is making a major contribution for printers as they adapt to 

meet new VOC guidelines and regulation limits in many regions of the world.
