Tri-Creaser Endorsed for Stahlfolders

Tech-ni-Fold, based in the UK is so convinced its new Tri-Creaser Fast Fit will eliminate the ink and paper or board stock cracking problem on folding machines, it is offering a three month money back guarantee.

It is a fact that most printing companies and binderies either have to outsource their heavily printed greetings cards, leaflets, brochures and book covers, or find an in-house solution to combat ink cracking problems which invariably involves a costly additional ‘creasing’ run. There has been no real alternative, especially when having to fold paper and board against the grain – until now.

The patented Tech-ni-Fold solution simply eliminates expensive outsourcing or additional creasing runs and allows the printed work to be finished much faster. Imagine creasing and folding a printed leaflet with a heavy dark ink coverage at up to 30,000 copies per hour and bypassing the creasing platen or cylinder.

This is already a reality open to worldwide print and print finishing houses, and has been acknowledged by leading German press and folding machine manufacturer Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG, which is reported to have signed a three year contract, to offer the patented folding machine accessory through its global distribution network and distributors, for the company's range of Stahl folding machines.

The secret to the Tech-ni-Fold ‘Tri-Creaser Fast Fit’ is in the way it produces much deeper creases to the ‘problem’ area of stock that is prone to cracking, and without damaging it. The softer, rubber compound simply stretches the fibres in the substrate, allowing it to fold without either the surface or ink cracking.

The eight-option device works using a colour coding system that is easy to use, even for inexperienced operators. The cut in the rotary creasing inserts allow quick and efficient application without having to remove the shafts from the machine.

Tech-ni-Fold is also seeking to add to its distribution network and asks all interested companies to contact them via its website: www.technifold.com . The website also has video downloads of all Tech-ni-Fold products working in a full production environment.
