Digital Color Finishers
Making its debut is Duplo’s new mid-range digital color finisher, the DC-646 slitter/cutter/creaser. Set to succeed the popular DC-645 model, the DC-646 provides small to mid-volume printers the ability to produce a wider range of unique full-bleed documents with more efficiency and flexibility. Performing up to 6 slits, 25 cuts and 20 creases in a single pass, the DC-646 eliminates white borders and prevents toner cracking on fold lines up to 30 sheets per minute and also offers optional rotary tool and cross perforating modules for increased versatility. With the DC-646, users can create 24-up business cards, slit-score greeting cards, micro-perforated coupons, and much more!

The high production DC-745 slitter/cutter/creaser, NAQP’s 2012 Product of the Year, and the DC-645 slitter/cutter/creaser featuring its new JDF capabilities will be on the show floor as well along with the DC-445, DC-615 and DC-745 integrated folding systems.

Saddle Stitching and Bookletmaking Systems
Also debuting at PRINT 13 is the entry-level 150C Booklet System, which incorporates the new DBM-150 bookletmaker with the DSC-10/20 suction collator. New features on the DBM-150 Bookletmaker include an Isaberg Rapid Stapler with superior stapler mechanism included in each cartridge for reliable stapling, the ability to process a wider range of sheet sizes up to 12x18˝, and a 16-job memory for fast setup.

Designed for use with flexible dies, the UD-300 performs multiple cuts, slits, slit-scores, kiss cuts, perforations, and window punches on a range of paper stock up to 14x20˝ at 3,000 sheets per hour. Compact in size and easy to use, the UD-300 Diecutter provides a cost-efficient solution with fast die changeover and set up times—making it a great solution for the graphic arts and packaging market.

UV Coaters
The new Ultra 300Ai inline UV coater with the SF-200 PLUS Suction Feeder and the low volume Ultra 100A UV Coater with the Hand Feed Module will be demonstrated as well.

Perfect Binders
Showcasing in the perfect binding area will be the KB-4000 PUR, DPB-500 and DB-280 perfect binders. The two-in-one KB-4000 PUR provides a perfect solution for short-run PUR perfect binding as it applies PUR melt to the spine for strong adhesive binding and EVA hot melt side glue for faster finishing. Book blocks produced on these binders will be a part of our live hard-cover book making workflow process.

Hard-cover Book Making System
Also on display will be the Mitabook, a hard-cover casing-in solution designed to economically produce short-run hard-cover and photo books on demand. The Mitabook automatically feeds and glues book blocks onto pre-made hard covers and delivers finished books in a matter of minutes with only a single operator required. For a complete solution, users can use the Mitacase to create quality hard covers and the Mitamax to create book blocks quickly and efficiently.
