IFS will showcase technology from Tecnau, its newest supplier partner, at this year’s Print Efficiently, 6- 8 and 20- 22 October, held at both IFS and Apex Digital Graphics showrooms in Hemel Hempstead.
Held for the fifth time, the annual event will present a Tecnau Stack 2020 digital print feeding and finishing system that operates in line with continuous feed digital printers at speeds up to 137 m/min. Ideal for transpromo, graphic arts and books, it delivers 1-up, 2-up or 3-up offset stacks ready for binding utilising the Buffer 530, Cutter c20 and Stacker s20 units.
All modules in the Stack 2020 system incorporate Smooth-Web motion technology to gently transport paper from the printer to stacked output. This synchronisation of the entire web to changes in speed provides reliability and reduces the likelihood of any paper jams. The system can variable cut and stack on the fly, enable flexible control of waste pages and deliver document integrity control.
During Print Efficiently it will be processing pre-printed rolls offline from a Fujifilm JetPress 540W Continuous Colour Inkjet Printer to produce A4 and A5 offset book blocks ready for perfect binding on a near-line Horizon BQ-470 four-clamp perfect binder.
‘There are many production and cost efficiencies that reel fed print offers from time savings to cost reduction and the Tecnau solution ensures those savings are equally deliverable in the post production department,’ explained managing director Bryan Godwyn. ‘End-to-end production is made seamless by these solutions are we are looking forward to showing visitors to Print Efficiently just how easy these operational benefits are to introduce.’
