SLITTER/CUTTER/CREASERS

NEW! DC-746 Slitter/Cutter/Creaser

The DC-746 Slitter/Cutter/Creaser is the ideal companion for digital printers with medium to high production jobs. The DC-746 offers new features including optional rotary tool and cross perforating modules, both with strike-perforating capabilities, for increased versatility and a job template library for common applications. The DC-746 also features a new waste conveyor that transports the waste into an external bin, making it easy to empty without stopping productivity. 

Graph Expo will be the first time that Duplo will exhibit the DC-646 with JDF workflow, on this occasion together with HP Direct2Finish, allowing print service providers (PSPs) to produce more pages with less effort each month. Direct2Finish enables automatic submission of accurate job definition format (JDF) instructions to the DC-646, reducing make-ready and turnaround time as well as reducing the chances of waste and human error. Together, the combination of Direct2Finish and the Duplo DC-646 helps PSPs improve overall site efficiency, press productivity and application versatility. The JDF job and queue management is built directly into the PC Controller, providing the flexibility to easily switch operation between on-line JDF workflow and jobs from any other source.

Also on the show floor will be the DC-616 PRO Slitter/Cutter/Creaser and the DC-646 and DC-445 Integrated Folding Systems.
