About the Duplo iSaddle X Intelligent Booklet System
Unlike with the old-generation saddle stitchers, so many of today’s automated saddle stitchers produce booklets that don’t remain flat. With the Duplo iSaddle you get the best of both worlds – flatter publications with all the time-saving and quick changeover you would expect from an automated system.
Furthermore, you can expand your application options with A4 landscape format work. Included in the range is the iSaddle PRO, equipped with the high speed DSF-6000 sheet feeder, capable of 600 sheets per minute.
Manage complex variable data jobs with ease using the DSC-10/60i towers. Each bin within every collator tower can operate independently or be linked to other bins or towers, as you require. Bi-directional feeding is also available.

Enjoy the automated features of a modern saddle stitcher, with the ability to produce flat publications like traditional machines did. The Duplo iSaddle X is a future-proofed investment, opening up new application possibilities such as A4 landscape that will improve your profitability and help you grow your business.
The secret to the iSaddle’s ability to deliver flatter books is in the automatic positioning of its folding wheels in the plough folder. Before that, the scoring wheels are also automatically positioned, creating the correct height according to the number of pages programmed.
Make-ready is quick and accurate on the Duplo iSaddle X through its automatic set-up, all managed from a user-friendly touchscreen PC controller. There are no tools or manual processes required in job changeover, and operators can save an unlimited number of jobs in the system memory for instant recall.
For further productivity increases the Duplo 600 Pro can be equipped with the Duplo DKT200 which offers three knife trimming of the finished job and removes the need for guillotining prior to starting production. The Duplo DKT200 can also be equipped with a gutter cut tool, a real productivity boost is delivered by the gutter knife. It enables 2-up printed pages to be finished, reducing downtime and doubling effective production speeds.
