Digital colour documents need
professional finishing to prevent the
unattractive white borders and toner
cracking that occurs wherever they are
folded.

The Duplo DocuCutter has the ability to
automatically slit, cut, and crease a
document in one pass, making it the
ideal finishing solution for the short-run
on-demand market. It allows users to
quickly and easily produce professionally
finished, full-bleed documents by simply
loading a sheet!

The DocuCutter DC-545 makes it easy
and economical to produce a wide

variety of applications including: business
cards, greeting cards, invitations,
brochures, catalogues, posters, book
covers, photographs and more.

A barcode reader not only enables the
system to recall pre-programmed jobs, thus
providing a fully automatic slitting, cutting,
and creasing solution, but will also read a
registration mark ensuring precise output
every time. The DC-545 will compensate for
image shift from start to finish.

The easy to use DocuCutter features an
LCD control panel that guides the user
through the set-up of the slit, cut, and
crease positions. And with 80 memory

A. E. HUDSON — GOOD IMPRESSIONS

settings, there is plenty of storage for
commonly used jobs.

In addition, the optional auto feeder will
continuously feed sheets, which provides a
highly productive slitting, cutting, and
creasing solution.

QL Blue

Blankets

A new buffed blue, compressible blanket
designed for the quality sheet fed offset
printer with high speed presses, is now
available from Hudson’s.

The Micro-Cel blanket consists of a
blended polymer surface applied to a
micro cellular compressible base. This
results in a blanket offering quick
release, good ink affinity and resilience.

The precision buffed surface provides a
micro-textured printing substrate that
enhances sheet and ink release. The
buffing also permits much greater gauge
control, with thickness tolerances of
+0.01 mm.

The unique fabric construction of the QL
Blue Blanket makes it less susceptible to
smashing and shrinking due to over
tightening or excessive tension.

Reliable Press Chemistry

ABW-2010*

A General Purpose Blanket
& Press Wash

ABW-2010* is a highly
effective and efficient blanket
wash that is fully water
miscible, forming highly
stable emulsions with up to
50% of water. As a water
mix it will not only remove
ink but will also remove
gums and paper pile caused
by a build up of paper
coating and paper fibre on
the blanket.

• Less greasy than some
other water miscible
washes.

• Non red label flammability
(flash point 64oC).

• Non regulated under UN
regulations, emergency
procedures (EPG) &
packaging groups.

FBW-2010*

Fast Blanket and Roller
Wash

FBW-2010* is a fast,
efficient and highly
effective blanket and roller
wash designed for use on
all types of machines and
on all blankets and rollers.

It will not cause swelling or
delamination of blankets
and will not damage the
rubber or blankets.

When used regularly,
FBW-2010* will impede
glazing of blankets and
rollers, maintaining them in
a clean, matt condition
aiding their ink transfer
properties.

A. E. HUDSON — GOOD IMPRESSIONS

DRL-2010*

Dry Run Lubricant

DRL-2010* forms a thin
lubricating film over all inking
surfaces throughout the
roller train and guards the
roller ends during running.

It protects rollers from
friction damage and heat
build-up on units running
without ink. Treated rollers
remain ink receptive.

The non-drying film protects
stored rollers from dirt,
moisture and oxidation for
very long periods.

DRL-2010* will not affect
the ink drying, gloss or
colour when used as
directed and cleans up
quickly with normal press
wash.
