IPEX 2010 IS VENUE FOR WORLDWIDE LAUNCH BY FERAG

Stand 18-C860 Visitors to the WRH Marketing/Ferag stand at Ipex will have the opportunity to see some of the most efficient post press systems available on the market today for the newspaper, semi commercial and commercial sectors. New equipment being demonstrated throughout the exhibition will include the EasySert inserting line, the StreamFold quarterfold system and JobTrim three-side trimmer, which will have its global launch at Ipex. “Printers everywhere, regardless of their sector, are seeking ways to improve productivity and quality while reducing wastage and costs – in short they want greater efficiency,” says Lee Whatmough, who heads WRH Marketing UK Ltd. “At Ipex, Ferag will be demonstrating how printers can achieve those aims by incorporating highly effective added-value processes within the post press arena. In particular, there will be systems that offer a very attractive price-performance ratio for the middle to lower market segments.” EasySert EasySert is aimed at commercial operations and newspapers of all sizes. EasySert incorporates JetFeeder hoppers (there can be up to 40 hopper stations in one line) and Ferag’s industry-leading UTR conveyor system, which eliminates potential problems caused during copy transfer by using the same set of grippers with individual copies throughout the entire process. This level of control enables inserting into the main jacket at speeds of 25,000 copies an hour, with a finished product that can be up to 400-pages tabloid. The main product format range is from 300 x 210 mm to 310 x 450 mm and the preprint format from 90 x 90 mm to 310 x 450 mm. EasySert is designed around tried and tested industry-leading Ferag technology and is straightforward to operate. The extremely compact system uses many standard Ferag components, which means that customers can hold lower levels of spares. StreamFold Ferag’s new StreamFold system meets perfectly the growing need by newspaper printers to produce quarterfold work efficiently and at high speed (up to 60,000 copies an hour). StreamFold can be utilised in a wide variety of situations, from the production of newspaper supplements and inserts to giving the printer the capability to take on work that cannot be handled by the press’s current folder. StreamFold can be integrated within any Ferag line, via its UTR conveyor technology, while the use of JetFeeder hoppers enables efficient off-line production. The mobile quarterfold component can be linked to any Ferag delivery station, enabling StreamFold to be fed from any press’s folder delivery that has been integrated into the mailroom via a UTR conveyor. Work coming out of StreamFold can be fed to a JobStack compensating stacker, MultiStack bundling system or wound on to a MultiDisc unit for subsequent inserting. StreamFold delivers a smudge-free, high quality product with an exact fold even on high paginations of up to 128 pages tabloid or 64 pages broadsheet (unfolded product). Quarterfold production is possible with either a leading or trailing lap and products can be processed in sizes from A4 to 310 x 450 mm. During Ipex, StreamFold will be shown operating with JobFolio products and the show will be the worldwide launch pad for the latest JobFolio addition – the new JobTrim three-side trimmer. Visitors to the stand can also hear about Ferag’s ValuePlus™ brand and associated range of services, which includes global 24/7 support and training of employees at Ferag’s Print Media Corporation near to the Hinwil headquarters in Switzerland.
