The Speedcreaser creasing and micro-perforating machine is designed to quickly finish digital or offset sheets up to 19in wide and comes in a short-run manual-feed version or longer-run auto-feed version.

It can be used as a near-line standalone option for digital departments or as an in-line option to run with right angle folding units.

The Creasing Upgrade Kit has been developed for Multi Tool Cutting or Micro Perforating kit and can add the same creasing capability that is found in the patented Fast Fit Tri-Creaser.

The Fast-Fit Tri-Creaser range now includes a version to fit Rosback and Rollem scoring machines, as well as Muller and Kolbus perfect binders.

Andre Palko, president of Technifold USA, said: "This year, the harsh economy has but a damper on big capital spending and people are taking a harder look at how they can get more out of what they have on the shopfloor.

"The key for us is to demonstrate the tremendous productivity gains possible with a very small investment."

He said that this means the company will work hard to dispel the "we've always done it that way" wisdom and will introduce "simple but dramatically effective" production changes.

Palko added: "I believe this is the one show that can't be missed. One important element is that we get to talk face-to-face with many of our customers to discuss new projects and unique finishing challenges.

"This is often the inspiration for development of new products."

Print 09 is due to take place on 11-16 September, in Chicago, US.
