POSTPRESS & FINISHING DocuMaster Pro Morgana Systems' DocuMaster Pro is the fourth generation of its multi- functional digital finishing system. DocuMaster Pro uses new touchscreen technology to control all system functions, thus simplifying operation and speeding set-up. It also incorporates a new PosiDrive feeding system developed by Morgana. Sterling Coilmaster IIIII ve printers who want to make booklets from pre-collated sets in one highly automated operation that includes feeding, creasing and quality bookletmaking. It will crease 5,000 sheets per hour and make 1,500 books The JDF-ready DocuMaster Pro is designed for digital m pr gned f feeding easin and qualit per hour. Using an optional square-back system, it can produce booklets with a perfect bound appearance. An optional variable data camera system set to read a fixed point on any page of a document automatically instructs the system to make a book of the required number of pages. When its full bookletmaking capability is not required, the DocuMaster Pro can be used as a simple creaser to produce 4pp documents on heavy card stock or as a perforator. www.MyPrintResource.com/10006760 Spiel Associates's Sterling Coilmaster III III plastic c ilc coil binding system creates plastic coil from plastic filament, automatically inserting it into the book from the first hole onwardsrds and then automatically cutting and crimping. This machine eliminates the need to store plastic coil. The cost savings of producing 12-inch lengths of coil from filament is more than 50 percent, reports m Spiel Associates. The Coilmaster III incorporates the rpor latest advances in automatic plastic coil binding, including an angled roller for speedy jam free binding, a spreading device that allows for any size margin, and the ability to bind books with any pitch with round or oval holes. The Coilmaster III delivers the capability of binding books up to 40mm in diameter at speeds of up to 700 books per hour. www.MyPrintResource.com/10008067 Heidelberg Polar 92XT PLUS The two programmable high-speed cutters POLAR 92 X and POLAR 92 XT are employed for precisely cutting semi-finished and finished products made of paper, cardstock, paperboard, plastic foils etc. in the medium-size format range (50x70cm). Even reams with diagonals above 92cm (i.e.: a max. sheet length of 92cm) can be turned on the front table. POLAR 92 can be combined with peripheral equipment (stack lift, automatic jogger, lift with angular boards) to ease the workload on the operator. Providing state-of-the-art cutting technol- ogy, the basic model POLAR 92 X is equipped with OptiKnife, automatic graphic programming (graphic opera- tor guidance in window technology) and the major functions for a working sequence which is almost completely automated. POLAR high-speed cutters meet every safety requirement and can be updated with the most recent soft- ware. The programmable top-of-the-line model POLAR 92 XT for all types of applications has the same technical equipment as POLAR 92 X, but offers quite a number of extra functions and modes of operation: e.g.: process visualization, alpha-keyboard for text input; programmable, order-specific parameters (such as clamping pressure, pre-clamping time, backgauge speed), which are automatically displayed with every cut size; backgauge compensation (length/crosswise), for every program. www.MyPrintResource.com/10005802 JetMounter JM55Fuzion The new JetMounter JM55Fuzion has many convenience features of the JM63Pro, with the smaller laminating width and price point of a standard wide format roller laminator. Equipped with top and bottom auto-grip supply shafts, rear and front take-up or feed shafts, and a heat- assist top roller, the JM55Fuzion is ideal for shops wanted to add roll to roll laminating capa- bilities at a lower price tag. Excellent for laminating vehicle wraps, creating window decals and mounting graphics to substrates. Built to the same quality specifications and engineering standards of all our JetMounter laminators. www.MyPrintResource.com/10005009 Zund G3 G3, the latest generation of Zund cutters is the most robust, versatile, and productive Zund finishing system yet. Specifically designed for 24/7 operation, G3 offers a unique combination of heavy-duty construction, superb accuracy, and unprecedented versatility. Tooling is avail- able for kiss-cutting, through-cutting, V- and bevel-cutting, oscillating and rotary-blade cut- ting, routing, creasing/scoring, marking, and more. G3 is driven by Zund Cut Center software which offers maximum cut-to-print workflow integration and productivity. Automated material handling options are available for both rigid and flexible applications. www.MyPrintResource.com/10008759 PURBlue 4 Slug Melter Nordson Corporation's PURBlue 4 slug melter is designed for efficient, effective processing of the low volumes of reactive PUR adhesives needed for short-run digital print jobs. The ability to easily and proficiently use PUR adhesives is particularly impor- tant in digital printing as the fuser oils, inks, and toners commonly used can impair the binding qual- ity of some other adhesives. Start-up and shutdown are simple with user friendly controls and graphic indicators. Melt-on-demand processing along with the adjustable force piston reduces adhesive waste while increasing productivity. With the EP48 spine gluing application head, the PURBlue 4 melter creates a closed adhesive system to improve production processes and finished book quality of perfect bound books. Nordson spine glue systems can be incorporated into most new or existing single or multi-clamp binders. www.MyPrintResource.com/10140708 B16 BIG BOOK WINTER 2011 | Cygnus Graphics Media Envelope Converting Machines W+D Machinery continues to expand its line-up of cost effective envelope folding solutions for commercial printers, direct mailers and service bureaus that need to in-source envelope production to meet the growing demand for short-run, fast turn-around, personalized print-on- demand direct mail segment.
