The man behind the Tech-ni-fold Tri-Creaser, Graham Harris, has designed a hand-fed rotary creasing device for the digital market and is hoping to show it at Northprint.
Harris said: "Ive built and tested a prototype, which worked perfectly. Its a question of working with the manufacturer to get some ready in time."
The SRA3 creasing device, which is as yet unnamed, is aimed at the digital and copy-shop markets on the back of Tech-ni-folds continued success with the Tri-Creaser.
Leicester digital printer Phoenix Colour has tested one of the new hand-fed devices, but there are plans to manufacture a fully automatic version.
"Weve done a lot of tests on digital toner-based stocks. If it works on that itll work on anything," said Harris.
Heidelberg has ordered another 80 Tri-Creasers after it took delivery of 100 units at the end of last year (PrintWeek, 8 December).
