The Stack 1010 is a cut-sheet cutter (slit & cut) that converts inkjet output into neatly finished stacks of postcards, posters, and other full-bleed applications in 1-up, 2-up, or 3-up impositions. It removes gutters/bleeds and eliminates the need for manual guillotine cutters.
BookReady: Alternatively, the BookReady system provides a fully automated cut & stack solution for book-block production, converting multi-up impositions into stacked pages ready for perfect binding with no operator intervention.
