Duplo DC-446 Creaser
SANTA ANA, Calif. — July 27, 2016 — Duplo USA announced that it has launched the new DC-446 Creaser, a fully automated solution that creases up to 60 spm and prevents toner cracking and unattractive fold lines on digitally printed documents.
“Several improvements were made on the DC-446 while maintaining the basic design and usability of its DC-445 predecessor,” comments Kevin Chen, product manager, Duplo USA.
“The DC-446 features approximately a 20% increase in speed and now handles a maximum paper width of 330.5mm, a bit over 13˝, to accommodate the common 13x19˝ sheet size,” he continues. “The maximum creasing capability has also been increased from 15 to 20 creases in a single pass, making it possible to run a wider variety of jobs. Plus, the DC-446 has changed from a four-belt to an eight-belt air suction feed system with changeable air blower area for consistent feeding of difficult stocks and weights.”
For a more versatile solution, the Integrated Folding System — an in-line knife folder — can be added to the unit. With the in-line knife folder, customers can crease and fold applications in one process while eliminating the time and waste required in setting up a separate folding device.

A number of other options are also available on the DC-446 to suit the demands of digital printers. An air knife provides additional air to reduce static problems while a double feed detector sensor stops the machine when two or more sheets are fed, preventing miss-feeds and paper jams. Slitting and perforating tools can also be added to eliminate white borders and/or create perforated pieces.
