We no longer have the ‘have-the-job-but-can’t-get-it-done-in-time’ issue. Lead times are 30–50% less.
— Brett Keene, CEO, Suttle-Straus
Tecnau’s Stack 1212 reduces manual print handling and consolidates labor-intensive finishing operations in a single-pass automated process.
For applications from letters, books, and marketing brochures, to postcards and posters, Stack 1212 slits, cuts, trims, removes gutters/bleeds and stacks output, allowing users to process sheets in cost-effective multiple-up impositions without further offline finishing.
Stack 1212’s cartridge-based cross-cut and slitter design allows the operator to quickly change from one job to another. Convert from a bleed or non-bleed postcard application (as small as 4” x 5”) to a large poster application in a minute or two in a simple intuitive process.
