At Graph Expo, in-plants had plenty of folding and scoring machines to choose from.

By Bob Neubauer

Duplo showed its DF-1000 air-suction folder. Its suction technology helps ensure that digital color pages are not marked or scratched, and that static does not build up during the finishing process. Able to handle bond stocks and art/coated paper to a maximum weight of 200 gsm, the DF-1000 can fold and batch up to 240 sheets per minute (spm). Operated by an LCD panel, the system requires no special training. Duplo also showed the DF-920 automatic tabletop folder, with sound absorbers. It can fold 280 spm thanks to a feed system that ensures reliable feeding for a range of paper sizes, weights and stocks. It automatically recognizes five popular paper sizes.
