New Digital Finishing Solutions From DUPLO USA TAKE CENTER STAGE AT PRINT 09
New Finishing Solutions
The show will be the platform for Duplo’s recently introduced DFS-3500 near-line Bookletmaking System developed to completely finish full-bleed booklets in a single pass. Ideal for short-run applications, it incorporates the DBM-350/T mid-range Bookletmaker and Trimmer in-line with a DC-445 Creaser, combining slitting and creasing features with the stitch, fold and trim features of the DBM-350 Bookletmaking System. With multiple functions in one system, the need for a separate guillotine cutter and a separate creasing machine are eliminated. The ability of the DBM-350/T to handle set-by-set and sheet-by-sheet output and the DC-445 Creaser to eliminate toner cracking on digital applications make it the ideal solution for printers transitioning from offset to digital. The DFS-3500 creates high quality booklets without time-consuming set-ups, and with multiple functions in one system, turnaround times and labor costs are greatly reduced.
In addition, visitors to PRINT 09 will witness the first US showing of the DKT-200 – a new two-knife trimmer for the System 5000 which provides a clean header and footer trim with the additional capability to add a third and fourth knife for gutter cutting on 2-up booklet applications.
Duplo will also debut a new addition to its Digital Duplicator range. The DP-A120 is a new entry-level Duplicator which provides the ideal digital print solution during the current challenging economic times as it has a lower equipment investment cost yet still maintains the quality and reliability Duplo’s Duplicators are known for.
Other Show Highlights
Other highlights on the Duplo booth #202 will include Duplo’s recently introduced DC-645/615 and DC-445 Integrated Folding System configurations which include a new knife folding option. By incorporating folding into the single system operation, printers can now fully finish different applications such as greeting cards, folded ‘tent’ business cards and many more.
