Duplo's Finishing Equipment Transforms Finishing
The School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), based in London, which until recently housed an offset printing operation, now finishes 98% of its printed literature in-house digitally.
Targeted at small printers, direct mail houses and large offices the machine operates at speeds of 250 sheets of A4 paper per minute, which Duplo claimed makes it the fastest product of its kind.
It incorporates new sound absorbers that reduce the machine's operational noise.
The DP-460H Duprinter has been designed as a cost-effective product for short-run offset printing, taking on single and spot colour jobs from 25 to 10,000 prints at 600dpi.
It includes a high pile infeed to allow printers to stack 3,000 sheets, making the machine ideally suited to typical commercial run lengths.
Automatic plate change is claimed to be carried out within 26 seconds, and an offset stacker means that separate jobs can be stacked for easy identification at the end of the print run.
It also includes a vacuum infeed that eliminates paper marking and offers faster rerun for duplex and spot colour work.
It is also said to allow ink colour changes in just 20 seconds, even with specialist colours such as gold and silver.
The Duprinter is designed to produce such work as order sheets, invitations, envelopes, exam papers, newsletters, score cards, menus, tickets, timetables and stationery.
Once switched on, it is said to print or copy instantly on to a range of stocks from NCR to card and envelopes at weights of 53gsm-210gsm, whilst achieving 120 A3 impressions per minute.
It is fully network compatible (PC or Mac) with RIP or a Duplo print server, offering computer to press imaging and can print within seconds of turning it on, producing 1,000 prints in just 10 minutes it is claimed.
The DB-50 Binder is Duplo's new desktop perfect binder for short-run and on-demand printing jobs.
It has the ability to bind documents of any size up to B4 with or without a cover.
Its heater ensures the glue is ready within five minutes, thus shortening make-ready times and eliminating unhealthy fumes.
