Duplo UK has today unveiled its iSaddle PRO Digital System targeted at high-end production.
This new configuration for near-line saddle stitching combines the Duplo DSF-6000 sheet feeder with the iSaddle.
The iSaddle PRO Digital System provides a ‘unique solution’. It converts pre-collated digital media into high quality booklets, to meet the needs of modern high-speed digital presses that provide longer, print runs faster.
This launch reinforces Duplo’s number one position as the provider of the widest range of bookletmaking and saddle stitching finishing systems in the printing industry.
Once again, Duplo is bringing saddle stitching technology to the high volume digitally printed applications, such as A4 landscape, brochures, personalised reward statements and photo album booklets. https://youtu.be/nxDzbrbQILc
