CutStar - the Advantages of Web Offset in Sheetfed Offset.
The CutStar short-grain sheeter offers you the best of both
worlds - the cost benefits of web offset and the flexibility
of sheetfed offset. CutStar is installed right in front of the
feeder. It allows you to process stock weights of between 40 and
300 gsm. The printing stock is unwound from the reel, cut to the
required format in CutStar and then shingled. The stream of
shingled stock is then fed into the feeder.
CutStar allows you to use inexpensive reel stock rather than more costly sheeted stock, saving you up to 15 percent. With special printing materials such as foils or aluminized paper, the saving is often even greater.
When starting a new job, either the reel can be changed in a matter of minutes or CutStar can be disengaged from the feeder at the touch of a button. A motor moves the CutStar cutting unit to one side to allow easy access to the feeder. The press can then continue working in sheetfed mode.
The high level of automation make CutStar extremely simple to operate.
