Thursday 11. February 2010 - C.P. Bourg s.a. are using IPEX as the European launch for their new BCMe sheet preparation module. Designed for using in-line with high-volume colour printers such as Xeroxs iGen4 and with Bourgs own BSF high-speed sheet feeder, the BCMe incorporates a number of unique features.

“It is a fact that many digitally printed sheets need to be creased before folding
to prevent toner cracking,”, says Bourgs marketing manager Eric Le Moine
“but it is also a fact that customers investing in high-speed digital presses
cannot afford to slow down the process to accommodate slow finishing
devices. Our unique rotary creasing form allows the positioning of the crease
on the sheet within the most demanding high tolerances, without stopping the
sheet.” High grade optical detectors combined with smart electronics read the
lead edge of the sheets as they pass through the system and activate the
rotary creaser to perform a crisp crease that is operator adjustable for depth.
In the same process, up to 25mm of bleed trim can be performed on each
edge of the sheet.
Another unique feature is that the Bourg BCMe is designed to accept the
largest (364mm x 571mm) sheet size printable on high-volume flat sheet
colour digital presses. “We see a lot of requests for A4 landscape booklets”
says Bourgs Mr Le Moine. “With the BCMe we can now offer this, both in-line
with the printers or as part of a near-line solution with our BSF sheet feeders.
