Available from IFS is Horizon’s new SmartSlitter, an all-in-one smart sheet processing system that can slit, gutter cut, edge trim, cross-cut, perforate, and crease in one pass.
The highly automated system is quick and easy to operate via a colour touch screen, and perforates and creases in both horizontal and vertical directions in the same pass. Skip perforation is also available for producing T-perfs and L-perfs, which are ideal for coupon and ticket applications as well as business reply cards.
The system can deliver multiple-up greeting cards with or without creasing, table tents, invitations, and much more with both matrix and rotary creasing. For applications such as accordion folded pieces or perfect bound book covers, up and down creasing can also be performed in one pass. Standard size business cards can be printed 21-up on a sheet and processed to a receding stacker for easy handling.
Jason Seaber, technical sales director for IFS, said: ‘Its flexibility to complete every-day jobs and those that add value ensure it will be a valuable addition to any busy operation looking to stand out from the competition and create higher margin and ultimately more profitable work.’
Designed for both offset and digital output, the system comes equipped with print mark registration to accommodate image shift in both directions. Simple and easy operation includes job setup via barcode. The system accepts sheets up to 370 x 670 mm and can deliver finished sheets down to 50 x 50 mm.
