Standard Creates the Ultimate Feeding and Finishing Experience in One Booth Standard Finishing Systems (Booth 831) occupies one of the largest spaces on the show floor and is packing equipment into every square foot to create a complete feeding and finishing experience. Standard’s showcase includes die-cutting, perfect binding and trimming, creasing and folding, saddlestitching, inspection systems, and roll-fed print solutions, as well as one world premiere and one North American premiere. At GRAPH EXPO 15, the company is unveiling an all-in-one smart sheet processing system from Horizon of Japan and debuting a dynamic perforating and punching module from Hunkeler of Switzerland. New finishing capabilities unveiled In a first ever showing, Standard is introducing the Horizon SmartSlitter, an all-inone smart sheet processing system that can slit, gutter cut, edge trim, cross-cut, perforate, and crease all in one pass. Print mark registration adjusts for digital print image shift from sheet to sheet. Skip perforation feature can produce T-perfs and L-perfs for coupons, tickets, and business reply cards. The system can deliver multiple up greeting cards with or without creasing, table tents, invitations, and much more. The system features a simple user interface for easy operation including job setup via barcode. The Horizon SmartSlitter is producing coupons with multiple perforations, direct mail pieces, business cards, card decks, and photo books for perfect binding. Also in the cutting arena, Standard Horizon’s RD-4055 Rotary Die Cutter–a GRAPH EXPO 14 MUST SEE ’EMS Award Winner– is still turning heads while churning out a variety of unique applications including door hangers, table tents, CD holders, pop-up business cards, stickers, labels, and specialty packaging. The system can die-cut, kiss-cut, crease, perforate, slit, hole punch, and round corner in one process for digital and offset printed sheets, and can achieve up to 6,000 cycles/hour on sheet sizes up to 15.74x21.65". A repeat register function allows multiple-up applications from a single-up die to minimize costs. Creasing is also available for applications that require additional folding after die-cutting, such as boxes, pocket folders, and greeting cards.
