German term or phrase: das Höchste der Gefühle
Ich arbeit an einer Broschüre f♀r Druckmaschinen und bin jetzt bei dem Kapitel über Rollendruckmaschinen angekommen.

Da lautet die Überschrift:

"Im Rollendruck
das Höchste der Gefühle"

Mir fällt einfach nicht ein, wie ich "das Höchste der Gefühle" am besten in diesem Zusammenhang übersetze. Bin für jeden Hinweis dankbar.

English translation:the best there is
Explanation:
Das höchste der Gefühle (umgangssprachlich: das Äußerste, was in Bezug auf etwas Bestimmtes möglich ist, sich machen, einrichten lässt: eine Stunde bleibe ich noch, das ist aber das höchste der Gefühle; aus Mozarts »Zauberflöte«

Of course there are lots of other ways of saying this in English: I'm just telling you what I believe it means. The translation may also depend on what the copy says.
