Duplo DF-1300L Long Sheet Paper Folding Machine (Air Suction Feed)

The Duplo DF-1300L is a compact paper folder that is unique in its class by supporting the folding of long A3 format sheets.

This brings new opportunities for creative organisations, in-house printers and small digital print shops, to explore a wider variety of fold patterns and finished formats to attract and inspire their customers.

A high degree of automation and ease-of-use through touch screen controls make this ideal for locations where print is not necessarily the main business, but there is a need to create printed documents using all the features available in the latest light production presses.

The features of air suction feeding and ultrasonic double sheet detection in a very compact design, all contribute to make this a perfect solution for folding digitally printed papers.

Why buy? For business owners

The Duplo DF-1300 is a simple to operate folder that because of suction feeding is able to handle digitally printed work without concerns about jamming and waste levels that can accompany other folding solutions.

The DF-1300L is positioned between Duplo’s friction feed paper folders for the office market, and SRA3 format suction folders commonly found in small commercial printers.   Combining the compact footprint and ease-of-use automation of its lesser brothers, together with air suction feeding essential for handling digital print, the DF-1300L complements the growth in features and print quality of entry level presses, that have brought new levels of affordable production to in-house and small digital print shops.  Its ability to handle ‘Long A3’ format banner sheets, that makes this product unique in its class, allowing marketing departments and small print production sites to stretch their creativity and variety of applications they can produce.

Setup is automatic so the folder can be operated by unskilled staff. Six roller operation and feed accuracy detection means that the unit can run unattended. With its integrated Double Feed Detection it ensures integrity by guaranteeing only a single sheet is fed at a time, critical when folding personalised letters or documents.

Why buy? For operators

Automatic setup for standard formats and job memories for custom jobs make the Duplo DF-1300 one of the simplest folders to operate.  Suction feed means it will handle digitally printed and coated papers without problem, while a batching function allows production to be interrupted at desired intervals while the delivery is cleared.  Copes with light weight papers (50 gsm) to cover weights (230gsm).
