Drupa Demonstrates Bindery’s Crucial Role
Another new product was the GBC 7580 Voyager laminator, ideal for medium and high-volume finishing of book covers, folders, brochures and bags. It runs at 200 feet per minute.
Heidelberg showed a vast array of stitching, adhesive binding, folding and cutting equipment at Drupa. It highlighted its new Dymatrix 106 Pro CSB (cutting, stripping, and blanking) die cutter, with more features than the Dymatrix 106 CSB. These include a new feeder concept, connection to the Preset Plus Feeder of the Speedmaster XL 105, automatic format presettings and production stability at very high speeds. The die cutter can also be integrated into the Prinect workflow.
