DOVER, NH, SEPTEMBER ’16: Formax announces a dramatic expansion to its line of Atlas Digital Print Finishing equipment with the introduction of three new machines: the Atlas C100 and Atlas C200 High-Speed Creasers and the Atlas C300 Automatic Creaser/Folder.
In today’s digital print environment, it’s not enough to simply print a piece; it must be finished properly for a clean, professional look. Traditional scoring uses circular blades which can result in cracking of the printed edge. Formax Atlas Creasers utilize a unique rule-and-matrix mechanism which compresses paper fibers instead of cutting them, virtually eliminating cracks on a creased or folded edge. The creasing matrix is guaranteed for life.
Each Atlas unit features a 7” color touchscreen with user-friendly graphics-based set-up, unlimited programmable jobs, and the unique bottom-suction air-feed system which allows for continuous loading of printed sheets, with no loss of feeding accuracy.
The Atlas C100 and C200 are fully-automatic air-feed creasers with variable speed control to accommodate a wide variety of sheet sizes and thicknesses. With the ability to produce up to 16 creases per sheet, they can process up to 8,500 sheets (8.5” x 11”) or up to 11,000 sheets (6.5” x 8.5”) per hour.
The Atlas C300 Automatic Creaser/Folder provides both high-speed creasing and folding in a single pass, up to 6,000 sheets per hour. The folding process features large-diameter ribbed rollers and patented floating knife folding technology to minimize marking of the digital printout. The Atlas C300 can process paper weights up to 400gsm, and includes a digital thickness gauge for accurate measurement.
All three models feature rugged metal construction and a compact footprint, making them ideal additions to small print shops and production facilities with limited space that want to expand their digital print finishing capabilities.
Formax is an industry leader in the design, engineering, sales and support of pressure seal, mailing, digital print & finishing and data destruction solutions. The company’s goal is to continually introduce new and innovative products while providing an unequaled level of service and support for authorized dealers worldwide.
