Duplo launches product benchmarking programme

Finishing specialist Duplo International has announced a UK-wide productivity assessment programme for SRA3 printers to benchmark their kit against the Ideal 4860-ET guillotine.

The German-made machine, which has a 475mm cutting length, was launched in the UK at Duplo’s London Calling Rocks show last year.

Now Duplo has developed a tool on ideal-uk.co.uk that enables users to test the productivity of their existing guillotines against the latest model.

Users simply need to enter basic information about their current equipment and the type and amount of work it produces and the system will compare this to the productivity of the 4860-ET
 
Duplo marketing manager Mark Legge said: "This tool is really designed to get people thinking about their workflow and give them an idea of how productive their guillotine is against what is on the market today.

"Guillotines tend to be last in the queue when it comes to equipment upgrades because people think the technology is quite stagnant. Of course every company is different but at the end of the day, we’re certain that anyone running a guillotine with a physical guard would see significant productivity improvements."
 
Ideal guillotines are available from Duplo’s UK-wide dealer network, who are offering consultations and trade-in deals as part of the manufacturer’s current upgrade programme.
