A technology forum at Rotolito Lombarda in Italy demonstrated manroland’s FoldLine finishing system with an HP T410 inkjet digital press.
The company says more than 40 people visited the Milan company which has been active in digital print since 2010, and plans to integrate press and finishing next month.
The FoldLine system is designed to produce up to 96 tabloid pages (48 broadsheet) at up to 300 m/min from a web of up to 1067 mm… equivalent to up to 7100 Berlin newspaper copies of 32 pages, 15,000 stitched A3 brochures of 16 pages, or 30,000 16-page signatures an hour.
At Rotolito Lombarda, it was shown producing a 24-page tabloid, then a 24-page Berliner, and then two eight-page newspaper sections collected and folded into a 40 pager of three sections.
