Digital printing requires creasing before folding in order to prevent unwanted cracking and the DC-445 Ducreaser is the ideal machine for this task. Designed to cope with short runs with fast set up and multiple creasing options to handle a wide range of products. Optional perforating and slitting modules extend the usefulness of the DC-445 Ducreaser still further.

Why buy? For business owners
The DC-445 Ducreaser has been designed to partner light production digital colour printing presses, though its ability to handle A4 sheets at 50 a minute lets it keep pace with more productive digital presses. Creasing is necessary to overcome toner cracking which can plague digitally printed pages and result in a quality finished product. The ability to crease up to 15 times in 0.1mm increments covers a huge range of product types that any customer might require.

Why buy? For operators
Step by step touch panel set up stores and recalls the programmes for 30 jobs to save time on repeat product types. A 100mm feed tray capacity and 110mm delivery tray means the DC-445 Ducreaser can run unattended leaving an operator to attend to other tasks. Suction feed removes the risk of marking with an optional air knife to help separate sheets ahead of feeding if static is an issue. An optional ultrasonic double sheet detector prevents misfeeds. Skew and shrinkage adjustments compensate for any image placement issues.

Customer Comments
"The quality is perfect with no cracking. This is due to the three different depths of crease, even with heavy toner coverage. It is extremely easy to operate. We only needed 15 minutes of training and we were then using it on live work."
Digital printer, London
"We went to IPEX and we were really impressed by the ease of use, flexibility and speed of the Integrated Folder that went inline to the DC-445. We could see a direct benefit with making this purchased to our customers receiving improved service."
Design Agency, Midlands
“Our capacity is now up and the problem of cracking has been completely eradicated. Our turnaround is now much faster and the machine is automated, so I can leave it on and get on with something else."
Commercial Printer, Neston
“We are getting into more variable data at the moment. Not everyone does it, so there are fewer people to compete against. The new machines have helped us to do that.
We have the confidence now that we can get something out within the day if we have to. We don't have to wait for it to go to a finisher and come back."
