The knife folder now has digital dials that adjust roller tensions for the transfer of outserts, and set the back-stop for accurate folds. These digital dials also serve as reference points for similar or repeat outsert folding jobs. Water scoring softens paper fibers for more effective rotary scores. Non-contact spot gluing is performed on-the-fly to optimize production speed. A pressing device is incorporated to compress the finished outserts.
