CutStar - the Advantages of Web Offset in Sheetfed Offset
The Flexible Alternative
The cost benefits of web offset and the flexibility of sheetfed offset: the CutStar roll sheeter combines the best of both. CutStar is installed right in front of the feeder of the Speedmaster CD 74, Speedmaster SM 102, Speedmaster CD 102 or Speedmaster XL 105 and can process paper rolls with stock weights between 40 and 300 grams per square meter. The short grain paper is unwound from the reel, cut to the required format by CutStar, then shingled. The resulting stream is fed into the feeder.
Cuts the Purchase Cost of Materials
The biggest advantage of CutStar is that it lets you buy inexpensive paper rolls rather than more costly presheeted material. This can bring cost savings of between six and 20 percent. Special printing stocks such as plastic sheet or metallized paper enable even greater potential savings. The sheet length can be infinitely adjusted - CutStar is not confined to specific formats. This can slash your paper costs significantly. And because shingling is done right in CutStar, sheet feed is extremely reliable and constant. This is particularly advantageous with critical papers and special substrates.
Simple and Flexible
CutStar has flexibility built in. When starting a new job, either the roll can be changed in a matter of minutes or CutStar can be disengaged from the feeder at the press of a button. A motor moves CutStar's cutting unit to one side to allow easy access to the feeder. The press can then continue working in sheetfed mode.
