Rollem have recently developed an innovative system to compensate for printing processes where the printed image can wander on the sheet. This new system is essential for accurately finishing digital prints.

The system can also be used for litho where the sheet size varies, for example with web sheet printing/slitting systems.
This exciting system is available on Rollem Revolutions, Rollaways and JetStreams.
Raffle ticket printing specialist Rapid Print has cut hours from its production process with the installation of a new gluing machine from finishing manufacturer Rollem.
The bespoke machine was installed at the printer’s Sudbury-base at the end of September, predominantly to handle raffle and draw tickets, which accounts for around 90% of the company’s business.
Previously, the husband and wife team would bring in outworkers to staple the tickets.
The Rollem, which is specially designed because Rapid Print prints ticket books three-up on an A4 sheet, takes the sheets straight from the press.
Managing director David Risley said: “It may take someone an hour and a half to finish a job by hand, but with the gluer it comes straight off. That’s an hour and a half saved, imagine what you could save when you have 10 jobs going through.”
Rapid Print numbers tickets while they are still three-up and an A4 sheet could consist of similar or varying tickets. Glue patterns and frequency can be altered so that the top sheet of each set of booklets does not have glue applied.
As well as its ticket work, Rapid Print also produces commercial work.
Rollem has announced the launch of a new tooling system that reduces setup times by more than 75%.
The SpeedSet system contains slitting, creasing, perforating and micro-perforating capabilities in one self contained unit.
According to Rollem Director Colin Pears the launch of this system gives our customers the unmatched quality, accuracy and speed that is taken for granted with a Rollem, but now with the ability to change over from one job to another in a few moments.
