PJ Print installs Horizon folder from IFS

Time：2020-08-26 From：

PJ Print has installed a Horizon PF-40L folder from Intelligent Finishing Systems as part of an effort to ‘elevate responsiveness’ in its digital print department.

The Ipswich-printer, which runs Ricoh Pro C7200 and Ricoh Pro 8320 digital presses, says the new addition was chosen to enhance the fast and flexible production of short run jobs.

‘We are being asked to handle smaller runs and meet faster turnaround times,’ said managing director Ben Perkins. ‘After reviewing our digital print department we decided a small dedicated folder would be perfect to manage the workload in a streamlined way.

‘We recently installed a Horizon BQ-270V perfect binder so we know Horizon well and like its systems. The build quality is good and the solutions are easy to use. The folder is no exception. It went in very well and does the job.’

The F-40L, which combines high-volume suction feed capabilities with intelligent automation, operates the same 1000 sheet capacity top-fed system used on Horizon’s VAC Collators. Its push-button control panel enables any user to set-up for the six most popular fold patterns of standard cut-sheet sizes. 

The folder can handle paper sizes ranging from 5 x 5in to 12.6 x 24.8in, and thicknesses from 50 to 90gsm, without requiring pre-scoring or creasing. Memory capacity allows for easy programming of 10 unique fold patterns and/or non-standard sheet sizes to be recalled at any time.
