Duplo DC-746 IFS

 

Buckingham-based commercial printer BCQ has purchased Duplo’s DC-746 IFS multifinisher with an integrated folding system to boost the productivity and versatility of its expanding business.

The integrated folding system (IFS) enhancement was introduced at Duplo’s Summer Festival, which was where BCQ Managing Director Chris Knowles first saw the machine.

Offering an automated system to eliminate the need for a separate paper folding machine, the Duplo DC-746 IFS also enables users to cut, crease, perforate and fold digitally-printed sheets in a single pass. The multifinisher automatically folds sheets up to 350gsm that have been cut, creased and perforated, applying one of six common fold patterns, before stacking.

‘We evaluated the market in terms of digital finishing equipment, and found that in addition to the full automation, high productivity and quality, it also provided us with additional versatility,’ said Chris Knowles, managing director of BCQ in Buckingham. ‘It’s just what we needed as we continue to expand across our markets. We’re delighted.’

Peter Jolly, Duplo UK managing director, commented: ‘This is another great addition to our portfolio and will enable customers to improve the efficiency of their operations. Eliminating a separate process not only streamlines the workflow but also supports faster turnaround times.’
