GRAPH EXPO Product Preview

Hewlett-Packard will display its new portfolio of digital printing solutions, including the HP Indigo 7500 digital press, and HP Scitex LX800, FB700 and Designjet Z5200 large-format printing technologies.

The Sterling Digipunch will be showcased by Spiel Associates. Designed for digital and commercial printers, it can punch up to 60,000 sph. It features a variable pile lift, which allows for slowing the machine down for difficult jobs, and can punch sheets with covers or tabs intermixed. A touchscreen automates setup/changeovers and prompts operators when to lubricate or sharpen the die. The machine can punch sheets from 41⁄2x51⁄2˝ to 12x14˝ for comb, coil and double-loop wire—or any hole pattern. Spiel will also display its Sterling Doublebinder, a layflat perfect binder that can bind up to 300 books/hr. It glues the spine, as well as between the sheets. Books dry instantly with no messy cleanup.
