Duplo unblocks
bottleneck at Telford
Repro
Digital printing company Telford Repro
has extended its range of Duplo finishing
equipment with a Duplo DC-616 PRO Slitter/
Cutter/Creaser, purchased through its long-
standing supplier, Docu-Finish Solutions in
Stourport-on-Severn, Worcestershire.
The all-digital operation has been in business
since 1994 and today runs four high-powered
Konica Minolta digital presses that are printing
short run, fast turnaround work that is generally
despatched same-day. Just over a year ago, the
company invested in a Duplo DBM-150 booklet
maker with DSF-2200 sheet feeder to take some
of the pressure off of the finishing department, but
bottlenecks remained in the process, with sheets of
business cards, for example, having to be cut on a
guillotine, and creasing on an offline rotary creaser.
Telford Repro went back to Docu-Finish
Solutions for advice, and the Duplo reseller
suggested the DC-616 PRO system.
Capable of up to 25 cuts and 20 creases
in a single pass, the automated multi-function
finishing system is compact and easy to use, with
PC controller software and touchscreen operation.
As well as slitting, cutting and creasing, it can
perforate in the same pass.
“We looked at Duplo and the competitors and
we found that the DC-616 PRO just did that little
bit more,” said Peter Llewellyn, Managing Director
of Telford Repro. “It had one or two aspects,
such as the types of creasing and number of cuts,
that singled it out as the most suitable for the
applications we run.
“The new machine enables us to put an SRA3
sheet of business cards in one end and it cuts,
separates and provides ready-stacked business
cards at the other. It also creases and trims very
accurately. The automated, barcode-driven set-up
process means we can load it up and walk away to
do something else, and we know the output will be
good. We’ve only had it for a couple of months but
already it has proved to be extremely beneficial and
certainly has saved us a lot of time, which saves us
money. It has proved to be a great acquisition.”
Stuart Granger of reseller Docu-Finish Solutions
said: “The objective for Telford Repro is to become
as automated as possible, and the DC-616 PRO will
speed up their entire slitting, cutting and creasing
process, as well as giving them better accuracy than
they had before.”
