The Spanish-manufactured product, which is available from the Reading-based consumables company, uses a two-part system with a cutter, creaser or perforator on one cylinder and an anvil on the other cylinder.

According to BFS, PerF-Offset can be setup in under five minutes and, unlike other litho perf products, it doesn't cause any damage to the printing blanket.

Robin Hope, managing director at BFS Pressroom Solutions, said: "There was much interest in Perf-Offset at Ipex .

"A lot of experienced printers seemed impressed by what it could do and how easily it could do it. We are expecting Perf-Offset to be a big seller this year".
