⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ James Wilkins - Senior Press Operator, MetroPrint Solutions
"We’ve been running Heidelberg Speedmaster XL 106s around the clock, and the Grandfa Sheet Separator Forked U Type has been a game-changer. Installed the Pro Model six months ago, and zero paper jams since. The stainless steel 316L with hard coating is holding up perfectly, even with UV inks and daily washdowns. Worth every penny for the uptime it’s saved."Purchase Date: February 2025 | Usage Period: 5 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Elena Martinez - Production Manager, PrintPro Midwest
"After switching from a generic carbon steel separator, the difference is night and day. The forked U-type design ensures clean sheet separation on 120gsm cardstock without misfeeds. We installed the Advanced Model last October and haven’t touched it since—no maintenance, no issues. The 20% faster installation claim? They weren’t exaggerating."Purchase Date: October 2024 | Usage Period: 7 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ David Tran - Maintenance Lead, Heritage Print Co.
"Had some older Heidelberg Quickmaster 46 models that were constantly jamming. The supplier confirmed compatibility, and we retrofitted the Base Model in January. Fit like a glove. Installation was smooth, and the ergonomic curve makes adjustments easier during changeovers. Only reason it’s not 5 stars is that initial calibration took a bit longer than expected. But now it runs flawlessly."Purchase Date: January 2025 | Usage Period: 4 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rebecca Lang - Operations Director, SecureDoc Print
"We print tamper-proof documents in high-humidity conditions, and corrosion has always been an issue. The Pro Model’s triple corrosion resistance passed our 1,000-hour salt spray test internally—no pitting, no degradation. Paired with its 15 kg load capacity, it handles our specialty substrates with ease. This isn’t just a spare part; it’s a performance upgrade."Purchase Date: April 2025 | Usage Period: 2 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Tomás Rivera - Owner, Urban Letterpress
"Running a small shop with a single Heidelberg SM 52, I needed something reliable but cost-effective. Went with the Base Model in August 2024. Now eight months in, it’s still performing like new. No rust, no wear, and the polished finish hasn’t scratched any paper. It’s overbuilt for my needs—but I’m not complaining. Just wish they offered a discount bundle for small shops."Purchase Date: August 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months

Dr. Alan Foster - Industrial Printing Systems Consultant
"Having audited over 200 offset printing lines, I can confidently say the Grandfa Separator Fork sets a new benchmark for durability and precision. The U-type fork design with ±0.05mm separation accuracy significantly reduces misfeeds in high-speed environments. For operations using Heidelberg platforms, this component delivers measurable ROI through reduced downtime and maintenance costs."
Linda Choi - Print Facility Efficiency Advisor
"The Pro Model’s hard-coated 316L stainless steel reduces maintenance intervals by up to 40% compared to standard separators. In my recent client audit, facilities using the Advanced and Pro models reported 30% fewer unplanned stops related to sheet feeding. This isn’t just a replacement part—it’s a productivity tool."
