Are you fed up with the cracking that appears on those leaflets, book covers and card stocks that run through your folding machine? Don't you sometimes wonder why the folding machine manufacturer's haven't come up with a better solution than the standard scoring device they supply?
Would you be surprised to learn that no matter how hard you or your operators try to reduce cracking by using any type of scoring device it won't work? Maybe you will achieve partial success on rare occasions if the grain is running with the fold, but is this good enough?
Four key reasons why scoring devices fail to conclusively eliminate fibre cracking
Key reason 1
Scoring devices all use destructive steel blades.bmp)
The steel male/female construction of a conventional scoring device that combine are too harsh for the material and usually either crushes, splits or damages the fibres of the substrate, particularly if it has a UV varnish or gloss finish. Dry and brittle toner based digital stocks stand no chance and are usually cut in half.
Key reason 2
Scoring devices only produce a V impression instead of the desired U-shape.bmp)
All the pressure from the steel scoring disc is exerted at the point of the V instead of spreading it evenly across the impression like creasing methods. If you were to look into a magnifying glass at the score just after it was applied you would already see fibres breaking away along a thin line in the centre of the impression. Successful creasing applies the desired U-shape impression evenly across an area to form the ‘shoulder’ so that there is room for the fold to be implemented without damage to that area of stock. Scoring techniques simply do not create the correct depth and shape required for successful results.
Key Reason 3
Scoring devices produce only one score setting
If you think about it, successful creasing relies on a combination of various crease width and depth settings for a multitude of stock ranges. So why do we expect a single scoring device to cope with everything? Scoring devices rely on the skill of the operator to create an acceptable score width by opening up or closing two collars directly underneath the blade. It’s more like a balancing act to achieve a reasonable width and depth of score without either cutting the sheet in half or creating such a weak and ineffective impression.
Key Reason 4
Scoring devices all work on the inside of the stock and not the outside where cracking starts
All scoring devices work the opposite way to the proven creasing method in that they apply the impression from the inside pushing the fibres of the stock outward. As a result the inside of the folded product will sometimes be acceptable but the depth and shape of the score isn’t sufficient enough to prevent the fibres on the outside of the fold from bursting and this where cracking is more critical.
What if there was a perfect creasing device
for your folding machine that
eliminates fibre cracking 100% of the time?
Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you could produce perfect letterpress style creasing on your folding machine that solved your cracking problems forever? Imagine having the confidence to crease and fold absolutely any printed stock you produce at speeds of up to 30,000 per hour, regardless of its weight or whether it has a UV varnish or gloss coating or even if its digitally printed. Imagine never having to worry ever again if the grain of the stocks were running with the fold or not. What if even your most inexperienced operators or trainees could instantly produce perfect results within a few short minutes?
The Solution: A Simple And Very Effective Device That Conclusively Dismisses The Scoring Theory
Now you can enjoy the benefits of a device that incorporates all the settings you expect from the proven Flatbed Cylinder methods and more. It's like having a box of creasing tricks and the most skilled operator all rolled into one simple device, it really is that special! Anyone can use it, even those that have no knowledge of creasing.
Here are the four key reasons why the
Tri-Creaser Fast Fit differs from failed scoring methods
1) It replaces the destructive steel scoring concept with a softer patented creasing solution that penetrates the material up to three times deeper, without splitting or damaging the stock. The forgiving and gentle application manipulates and stretches even the most difficult print and stock combinations known to us, including oven baked web offset and toner based digital applications.
2) It replaces the V shape score for a rounded or U-shaped crease that spreads the impression evenly across the width without the distortion to the centre that is common with other devices. The much greater depth of the crease simply forces the material to form the shape of the set female channel opposite and this is the key difference.
3) It replaces the regular single score setting for 8 crease options that easily stop the cracking on the full range of materials that run through your folding machine from 85-350gsm, regardless of grain direction, solid ink coverage or whether it has been UV varnished or laminated. The Tri-Creaser Fast Fit has all the crease settings machined into it so the user doesn’t have to spend endless hours experimenting; in fact, all the thinking has been done so that all the guess work is eliminated.
4) It replaces the method of scoring on the inside of the product through the effective reverse crease application. This means that the device works directly on top of the area that is prone to cracking, gently pushing the fibres back inside the product. We know that cracking to the outside is eliminated this way but also see that a perfect bead has formed on the inside and is highlighted once the folded product is re-opened. This demonstrates the depth of crease penetration from the outside through to the inside of the product and conclusively proves that the perfect letterpress method can be replicated on a folding machine.
The new Tri-Creaser Fast Fit incorporates ingenious split creasing rib technology
The big difference with the new Tri-Creaser Fast Fit version is in the clever new creasing technology and the simple way in which it works. The new split creasing ribs provide users with a unique way to attach a split creasing rib into the device without taking it off the shafts, and this is the major benefit. Applying one of three colour-coded creasing ribs is now so quick it increases set up times dramatically.
So How Exactly Does the Tri-Creaser Fast Fit Work?
The creasing rib is designed with a special profile that fits perfectly into a locking hub of the same shape. Once the locking system is opened up the split creasing rib can be easily inserted into the open compartment before being secured into position. The lugs on the two ends of the rib simply push into the locating recess to add strength and also reinforce the join so that a gap does not open up during production.
The three colour coded crease styles represent the full range of stocks that pass through your folding machine. Once the correct crease setting is chosen for the stock weight it is simply matched with the corresponding dot coded female channel.
