Finishers name line-ups for Northprint

A host of finishing equipment manufacturers have announced their line-ups for this year's Northprint show in Harrogate.

Swiss firm Multigraf AG has announced a new product range and Dumor will debut its range of finishing machines, while Terry Cooper Services (TCS) Watkiss Automation and KAS Paper Systems will have some old favourites on their stands at the event from 10-12 May 2011.

Multigraf AG will launch the Touchline range of automatic creaser folders, which are aimed at the digital printing sector.

Also digital finishing specialists, Dumor will feature cutters, creaser, staple/folders, laminators, punches, joggers and binders.

TCS will be concentrating on digital finishing, particularly focusing on nearline and inline solutions. The supplier's stand will feature automated perfect binders and sheet feeders from CP Bourg, trimmers and guillotines from Challenge Machinery and CCM Premier guillotines.

Sales manager Dean Stayne said: "For us it has never been just about box-shifting products, but about offering our knowledge to help clients grow their business or reach their business potential by investing in finishing products. 

"In this climate, we understand investors are cautious, but by showing how certain products work together to create cost-efficient and highly productive solutions, ROI can be achieved that bit quicker."

Watkiss Automation announced last month that it would be bringing the Watkiss PowerSquare to the show. It has confirmed the Vario collating system, Document Finishing System and Lamibind perfect binder will also be on stand.

Sales director Paul Attew said: "We have always taken the view that flexibility in the production line is a key issue. Good utilisation of resources is important, regardless of whether the print is litho or digital, or if the finishing system is online or offline. We are looking forward to demonstrating this at Northprint."

KAS will exhibit the Mailmaster Compact entry level enveloper and the Mailwrap polywrapper, as well as the CreaseMatic Auto 50 creaser and modular folder.
