Tabletop Folder MBM Corporation has added the compact and portable Simplimatic A automatic tabletop folder to its line. The offering features an LCD digital control panel that displays user information and set-up prompting for folds. Providing color space information as well as density readings, Spectrac measures special or process colors from color bars, mini bars, micro or macro patches, or individual swatches from anywhere on a printed sheet, and flags those areas that are out of tolerance. A printout provides a record of the scan, including density deviation from target values, halftone dot gain, print contrast, and wet ink trap percentage. Vacuum System Douthitt announces the production and installation of what it claims is the world's longest exposure vacuum frame, featuring a 10-meter image area.
Units can be customized for any application, say company officials.
The system consists of a digital display with a remote platform placed under a Knorr jogger. After obtaining a sample weight on the reference scale, the remote platform determines the piece count during the jogging process, which occurs simultaneously with the counting process. Features include landscape feeding and mechanical pull guides, vertical and horizontal running register, and a choice of the Hamadamatic or Crestline continuous dampener, stream, or universal feeder. Domino claims it has the smallest printhead of its type, which can be mounted virtually anywhere on the production line and quickly relocated for efficient makeready and re-setting. Domino also will feature at Drupa the A400 ink-jet printer, which enables up to three units to be stacked to provide multiple printheads.
