Plockmatic International has released a new bookletmaker for inline integration with Canon digital toner presses
Plockmatic International has released its BLM5000 series production bookletmaker for inline integration with Canon’s imagePRESS V1000 and V1350 digital toner presses.
Designed to produce A4 and ‘letter’ landscape format booklets as well as regular sized portrait format booklets, the BLM5000 is ideal for mid- to high-production volumes.
The new bookletmaker allows for square-back folding and full-bleed three-side trimming to remove feathering on the outside edge from folding multiple nested sheets.
Customers can opt for staple or stitcher heads in 50- or 35-sheet versions with the stitcher unit including two to four ISP stitch heads.
As well as being compatible with a Canon press, the BLM5000 can also be supplied as an optional Plockmatic VFX feeder for offline or nearline configuration. This is a high-capacity Vacuum Feeder capable of feeding a wide range of paper types and weights at up to 15,000 sheets per hour.
Canon also offers the Plockmatic BLM 550+ and BLM 50/35 systems making for a selection of tailored and highly automated end-to-end production solutions.
“We’re really excited to expand and solidify our business relationship with Canon adding the new BLM5000 series into our joint portfolio of solutions offered to customers,” says Johan Mikaelsson, vice president of Business Unit Inline at Plockmatic Group.
“The BLM5000 series will broaden the offerings to customers allowing for a wider range of applications and drive volumes for the printing community.
“Fulfilment is more important than ever – allowing for printers to provide end-to-end solutions to their customers and with the launch of the BLM5000 seres more finishing options are available and adding to the business opportunities.”
The BLM5000 series is available for inline configuration with an imagePRESS V1000 or V1350 via Canon sales offices throughout EMEA.
The bookletmaker is available via Canon sales offices throughout the US for inline or offline configuration with an imagePRESS V1000 with V1350 support said to be confirmed in the future.
