Finishing specialist Plockmatic has announced the release of the MPS XL Multi-Purpose Stacker, described as ‘a flexible, cost-effective stacking solution’ designed to attach to various Xerox production printing systems.

The MPS XL Multi-Purpose Stacker provides a simple docking/ undocking system to ease the transportation of printed work, while the motorised Stacking Table lifts and manages heavy paper stacks. The unit attaches to the Xerox Production Ready Finisher Plus that is currently available for the Xerox Iridesse Versant 4100 and Versant 280 toner presses. Sheets fed into the MPS XL can easily be moved to another finishing device, for example the Morgana AutoCut Pro from Plockmatic. 

A particular benefit of the new stacker is claimed to be in long sheet applications: conventional stackers typically only handle a small number of ‘long’ SRA3+ sheets up to 1200mm. The MPS XL supports ‘true production’ quantities and allows for thicker paper stock up to 400gsm.

Commenting on behalf of Plockmatic, Jakob Ekeberg, vice president of product, said, ‘The market is evolving towards new digital applications that require longer sheets, so print room operators need a solution that will allow them to stack, handle, and transport them. The MPS XL makes printing and transporting long sheets as easy as standard size sheets. The product offers a unique combination of features – stacking, lifting, and transporting – in a single product that cannot be found elsewhere.’

The MPS XL unit is available through Xerox.
