A Grand Finish at drupa
Standard Horizon introduced several products at drupa: The HT-1000V variable three-knife trimmer is capable of one-to-one variable trimming, in-line or off-line. Setup and variable trimming are achieved by reading a barcode printed on a cover sheet. It can trim up to 1,000 variable-thickness and -format size books per hour. The HT-1000V will accept a range of input sizes and deliver trimmed books from 5.7x4.05˝ up to 13.38x11.69˝. Also, the new CRF-362 handles creasing and folding of digital color output across a range of light and heavy weight stocks, coated or uncoated. The impact scoring eliminates or minimizes cracking of the stock or printed image. It comes configured with seven selectable fold patterns and six selectable cover creasing patterns for perfect binding. Jobs can be saved to job memory, and up to 10 creases can be placed on a sheet.
