Paper Cutters — Honing a Competitive Edge

The maximum stack height issue is a littler more complicated, asserts John Porter, division manager at LDR International in Portland, OR. If a printer/bindery is using older equipment, often times it is worn to the point that it can't cut maximum-height lifts of paper accurately, he says. "But, the cycle time of the machine for a 6˝ lift is the same as for a 2˝ lift. Therefore, the easiest way to increase productivity is to maximize the size of the lift being cut," Porter explains.
