The guillotine is aimed at copyshops and small firms, especially in cramped sites.

The 430mm-wide 4250 features an electric clamp and blade drive capable of a cut height of 40mm. It also has a digital readout for cut positioning and an electric clamp to hold the stack.

The safety protection system has a disc brake, a hinged, electronically controlled safety guard on the front table, a transparent safety cover on the rear table, and an electronically controlled true two-hand operation.

Angela Osborne, UK digital finishing and office manager at Duplo, said: "The product has been a massive hit with SME printers and copyshops in particular."
