Duplo DC618

The fully automated DC-618 Slitter, Cutter, Creaser is Duplo’s compact, yet powerful all-in-one finishing solution designed for today’s digital printer. With the ability to process up to 6 slits, 30 cuts and 20 creases in one pass, the DC-618 delivers full-bleed applications up to 23 sheets per minute without the white borders and toner cracking for a clean finish.

The DC-618 comes equipped with rotary slitters, a guillotine cutter and a depth-adjustable creaser; which together with options providing perforating and scoring, offers the versatility of multiple devices in one integrated system. • The card stacker neatly collects small pieces such as business cards and postcards, or remove to stack larger format pieces. • Creasing digitally printed sheets prevents toner cracking when folding. • Creasing performance can be optimised for different stocks by using the crease tool features of adjustable depth and width. • Features as standard a feed tray and stacker suitable for over-size sheets up to 750mm length, enabling large format jobs and increased productivity.

Using the Windows PC user interface, even inexperienced operators can program jobs with ease, make quick adjustments, and save an unlimited number of jobs onto the hard drive for instant changeover. Jobs can be reviewed and edited even while the DC-618 is running, further reducing operator setup time and increasing efficiency. Alternatively, operators can use the colour LCD control panel for set up and use it to save up to 250 jobs onto the built-in memory.

Using the built-in CCD to read a printed barcode, the DC-618 will recall the job from memory and automatically setup, reducing changeover time and errors. In this way, varied jobs can be loaded and run automatically while the operator attends to other tasks. This automation is complemented by a second feature of the CCD to read a printed mark and compensate for any horizontal and vertical movement in the image, ensuring precision finishing every time.

Save up to 70% in set up time by automating job preparation and eliminating manual data entry with Fiery Impose® in Fiery Driven™ print environments. Use Duplo imposition templates for Fiery Impose that match the finishing templates on the DC-618, or create custom layout jobs on the PC Controller, import into Fiery Impose and instantly see a preview of the finishing lines to verify job designs before printing. This integration offers timesaving workflows, reduces errors, and accelerates turnaround times.

Optimise layout and productivity and create a wide range of high-value and complex applications such as tear-off tickets or reply cards. 

Perforation Module - Manual setup with two tools for continuous perforations or scores (crease) in the direction of paper movement.

Rotary Tool Module – Similar to the Perforator but positioning and adjustment is automated. Perforations can stop/start in programmable positions along the sheet.

Cross-Perforation Module – Creates multiple stop/start perforations across the sheet.
