Standard Hunkeler DP8 Dynamic Punch and Perforation Module

In Standard Booth 831, the new Hunkeler DP8 Dynamic Punch and Perforation Module will be running as part of a Roll-to-Booklet solution processing pre-printed rolls into finished booklets with dynamic perforations throughout. The DP8 adds dynamic perforation and punching patterns that can vary from sheet to sheet providing additional flexibility for direct mail, transpromo, and transactional applications. At processing speeds up to 720 fpm, this module keeps pace with the new inkjet generation for operation inline with the print engine or offline. The system can perform multiple cross perforations, length perforations, punching and die cutting in a single process, and can support up to three cross perforation units and eight vertical perforations on one sheet. A touchscreen editing tool allows fast and easy setups. With the use of data matrices printed on each sheet, several perforation patterns can be called dynamically to achieve a number of different combinations within one job. The system offers customizable, independent processing of two web lanes in 2-up production for highly variable jobs, and supports job storage and automatic retrieval of the proper perforation and punching patterns. This solution is widely used for the production of payment forms, tear-off coupons, mailings and security applications.
