The Plockmatic 500e/350e is a modular inline booklet making solution for centralized reproduction departments and commercial print providers – large and small. Customers can choose from a range of cost-effective options to support their application requirements. The system is packed with a host of unique technologies that deliver finished books with quality to match today’s printing systems.
Plockmatic 500e and 350e
An new version of the popular Plockmatic 500 & 350 for the latest generation Ricoh Pro 8300 series.
Customers are demanding more media versatility from digital print. The Plockmatic 500e/350e is designed from the ground up to work with today’s coated, uncoated and textured paper stocks.
Plockmatic works closely with print engine manufacturers and workflow partners to ensure the closest possible integration of the booklet making system. This supports ease of use and allows operators of different skill levels to get the most out of the entire printing system.
Description
Our Latest Color Graphical Interface.
Operators are now guided through job setup with detailed graphics that can provide step-by-step guidance. Getting professional results using all the system’s features has never been easier.
Two booklet makers for up to 50 or 35 sheet booklets.
The Plockmatic 500e can staple and fold up to 50 sheets which creates booklets of up to 200 pages. The Plockmatic 350e is capable of 35 sheets creating 140 page booklets.
The optional cover feeder, integrated into the booklet maker, provides another pick point for pre-printed covers. Allows easy blending of color covers with monochrome content.
Three modules in one with a small footprint.
The Plockmatic RCT Rotate Crease Trim unit provides professional looking, full bleed trimmed and creased booklets on the Plockmatic 500e and 350e booklet makers. It also increases productivity by allowing smaller sheet sizes to be printed in the most efficient orientation.
Produce professionally looking booklets.
The BookFold module adds the finishing touch with a square folded edge and printable spine.
Gives booklets the professional look of a perfect bound book.
Heavy duty, wide range face trimmer.
The Face Trimmer module trims the side opposite to the spine eliminating the “shingle” effect that occurs with thicker booklets. The module can also cut the width down to 105 mm for larger sheet sizes, further broadening application support to your customers.
