Borehamwood-based digital print company Kellmatt Limited has upgraded its Morgana DigiFold Pro to the latest DigiFold Pro XL.
Formed 30 years ago, Kellmatt is a wholly digital business that operates Xerox digital printers, some wide-format technology, monochrome printers for variable data printing, and boasts a graphic design studio. The company started life in the print world by producing self-adhesive labels, then morphed into a reprographics company, producing Cromalin proofs for high-end graphics customer, before becoming an early adopter of digital print.
The Morgana DigiFold Pro XL is a heavy-duty automatic creasing and folding system designed to complement mid-to-high volume digital and offset production presses.
Kellmatt’s new machine is able to handle stock sizes from 210mm to 1300mm in length, can fold up to 6000 A4 sheets per hour (7500 in ‘crease only’ mode), has a maximum loading capacity 200mm, and a stock range of 80 – 400gsm. It also features a standard pull-out extension that enables sheet sizes up to 1300mm to be handled with ease and is able to create up to 30 creases per sheet.
Matt Weir, a director at Kellmatt, commented on the upgrade. ‘It was a straightforward decision for us to upgrade to the latest version,’ he said. ‘We have been a Morgana user for 20-years-plus, and most of our post-press equipment comes from them, so there was no need to look elsewhere. Morgana equipment is solidly built and has served us very well over that time.
‘The cross-perforation capability was the major attraction. We had been sending that kind of work out, so this machine will put control back in our hands, save production time, and save us money.
‘The ability of the machine to handle long sheets came a close second as far as features. We run a Xerox iGen and an Iridesse, so the fact that we can handle 660mm long sheets is important, or up to 1200mm for special products. It’s another feature for us to sell and for our in-house design team to promote.’
