14 12 Research & Development 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 trends / competition Customers demands OEM specifications Brainstorming ideas and screening Development incl. basic research Pilot plant Optimise Our research & development concentrates on the benefits to you: more economical, safe, durable and environmentally efficient printing.

15 Research & Development 13 Strategy Field tests Optimise Product release Production Market 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.

16 14 Sustainability SUSTAINABILITY is good for your business 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. 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.

17 Sustainability 15 By using BALDWIN products, you can dem-onstrate 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. 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. 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 con-sumable 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.
