Smart Sheet Processing System SmartStacker
Game Changer Innovative way to process B2 (20” x 29”) digitally printed sheets to finished format size.
- Near-line operation with Sheet Feeder – The SmartStacker can be operated as a near-line system. The Horizon, newly designed sheet feeder accommodates B2 (20” x 29”) sheets at up to 4,500 sheets per hour. The Finishing Line Controller (FLC) controls all setup and operation of the SmartStacker by use of JDF workflow. Near-line SmartStacker can serve multiple HP Indigo 10000 Digital Press units and other HP Indigo presses.
- In-line operation with HP Indigo 10000 Digital Press – The SmartStacker can be connected directly to the HP Indigo 10000 Digital Press. Print submission, print, and sheet processing can be performed without any manual operation for higher sheet integrity and an efficient workflow.
- Finishing extension (planned) – The SmartStacker can be connected with the Horizon signature folder, saddle-stitcher or perfect binder to achieve total finishing automation
