Canon has expanded the finishing options for its light- and mid-production printers with a new inline booklet trimming unit aimed at commercial printers and inplants.

Manufactured in The Netherlands exclusively for Canon by SDD, the PTM7006 Press Trim Module can process up to 600bph, and trim up to 51mm top and bottom.

It can process booklets up to 6mm thick or 25 80gsm sheets thick with 300gsm cover stock.

While it’s designed to run inline with either the 2019 launched 90ppm ImagePress C910 series of light production colour printers and the 143ppm VarioPrint 140 range of mid production mono printers, it can also be handfed for offline operation.

Options include a SquareFold unit and a 2-side trimmer for full-bleed applications.
“For print businesses, the pandemic has put fresh emphasis on the importance of automation and of adding value for customers,” said Joseph Courts, head of product marketing for Canon UK & Ireland.

“Finishing is key to both and we’re committed to offering the broadest possible choice of solutions, helping print producers to succeed by streamlining production and branching out into new application areas.”
