IDS-3D goes Greece! Sykaris Graphic Arts closes the loop with Q.I. Press Controls
Oosterhout, May 2026
– Sykaris Graphic Arts, a family-owned printing company firmly established in the Greek graphic industry, has invested in Q.I. Press Controls’ register, cut-off and density control systems for its Heidelberg M2000 Duplex press (8 units, 2 folders). This retrofit project reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to production stability, efficiency and high-quality print performance.
Strengthening a vision built on quality
Built on craftsmanship, reliability and long-term customer relationships, Sykaris Graphic Arts has developed a strong reputation for consistent and dependable production. Continuous investment in technology plays an essential role in maintaining these standards. In recent years, the ageing control systems on the Heidelberg Duplex M2000 press were no longer aligned with the company’s operational ambitions.
To restore optimal performance and further enhance efficiency, Sykaris Graphic Arts selected Q.I. Press Controls’ mRC-3D color register and cut-off control systems together with the IDS-3D closed loop color control system including ink presetting.
The proven technologies of Q.I. Press Controls minimizes start-up waste, accelerates color convergence and ensures consistent, repeatable production quality.
From introduction to implementation
The project was initiated through Q.I .Press Controls’ Greek agent, Vaxevanidis Dimitris & SIA O.E., who introduced Sykaris Graphic Arts to their latest generation control technology. At the time, the company was preparing a comprehensive upgrade of its Heidelberg M6000 press to secure long-term production reliability.
Following a detailed technical evaluation, Sykaris Graphic Arts selected Q.I. Press Controls’ mRC-3D and IDS-3D systems for their proven performance in retrofit applications and their seamless integration into existing press configurations. The decisive factors were based on trust and proven results.
Proud of the partnership
For Q.I. Press Controls, this order represents an important collaboration with a respected Greek printing company that shares a commitment to quality and long-term performance.
