Read MoreThe 350 Digital Booklet Maker marries the DSF-2200 Sheet Feeder with the DBM-350 Booklet Maker and Trimmer to create a cost effective mid-range booklet making system which is ideal for a wide range of applications including mono and digital colour presses.
Although it is common for a digital press to produce a complete job ready collated in sequential order, many presses will slow down when the weight of the paper changes considerably – to allow the engine to adjust to the correct temperature – or when pre-printed cover is inserted to the paper path. Two paper feed trays in the DSF-2200 allow the combination of the main content pages with covers that have been offset printed, printed on a separate digital press, UV coated or laminated.
Why buy? For business owners
The 350 Digital Booklet Maker is a modular system combining sheet feeder, booklet maker, trimmer and optional square spine module (ASM350). It is a real alternative to dedicated in-line booklet making systems, providing features such as job integrity (for confidence that production is correct), fast operation, two feed trays (to allow the merging of differently finished stocks), stitching heads and book press for a quality finish. A well proven feeding device allows the system to be operated by the same persons who are running the presses, ensuring continuity of management and control, as well as savings in staffing costs.
Being a modular system, Duplo has a range of alternative feeding and finishing devices that provide the business owner with the opportunity to upgrade or change devices as your needs change and business develops.
Why buy? For operators
The 350 Digital Booklet Maker is operated from a PC Windows based graphical user interface that allows simple programming, adjustments and job recall from a virtually unlimited memory. Automated control is made from this point, allowing quick setup between jobs. The feeding system uses a combination of top feeding, pumps and active anti-static devices to ensure consistent operation. The paper follows a relatively flat paper path under transparent safety covers, allowing the operation to be monitored and adjustments made. Stitching heads, book press and optional square spine (ASM350) module ensure a quality production.
Highlights
• A wide variety of digital print can be handled without being tied to one particular legacy of print engine, or (as often happens) reducing the speed of the press to suit the inline finisher.
• Production speeds of typically 2 or 3 times faster than printing speeds, meaning that the work from multiple engines can go through one finishing line.
• Scaleable architecture; interchange system components and features as your business grows.
• Merging of sheets that have been produced in some separate process.
• Press usage that is independent of finishing demands or availability.
• Job control and security by using bar codes to assure accurate production
• Operation can typically be made by the press operator whilst also running the presses
• A wide range of paper formats are supported which reflect the huge changes in demand and applications possible today, especially because of the far greater use of digital colour print which is constantly extending its own technological boundaries.
• Production of small and odd-size booklets that can be printed 2-up on a sheet; providing a broader range of finished job and halving print costs.
