Pressfax
 
         
 
In addition to the small fax machines (ZETFax, KF 108, HF 146),
Hell primarily developed a series of large-format facsimile machines
that were used for the transmission of weather maps (paper width
40 cm) and also for the transmission of newspaper pages.

The apt name of this family is therefore "PRESSFAX".

The PRESSFAX devices scan an entire newspaper page in very high resolution, so that the exposed film can be used directly on the
receiving side to create the printing form.
This technique thus enables the "simultaneous" printing of a news-
paper issue in the most diverse places in the world without having
to recreate the newspaper pages.
