Even more importantly, it delivers short set-up times—operators can switch between different fold types and sheet sizes rapidly. Real-world case studies show setup time reductions of up to 70%, from 25 minutes to just 7 minutes per job. The machine is also designed for easy handling, with intuitive controls that allow operators to achieve professional results with minimal training.
