About Duplo iSaddle

Duplo’s iSaddle Saddle Stitch System combines traditional stitched booklet production on a saddle. Adding the versatility needed for short run operation in today’s fast changing commercial print environment.

With the ongoing trend for ever shorter runs with faster delivery times. There has never been a greater need to invest in solutions that deliver high quality results and adapt to many production formats and requirements. The iSaddle provides the convenience of production from a flat sheet. Combined with features to produce a wide range of profitable applications, allowing users to differentiate themselves from the competition.

Designed with ease of use in mind. Its complete automation and intuitive programming make it possible for a single operator to perform change-over in minimal time. Thus swiftly and easily tackling a wide range of formats from the very small to oversize A4 landscape with minimal intervention. The versatile and superior suction feed collators enable quick makeready between different formats and media printed on both litho and digital presses.

Buts its not only automation and ease of use that set the iSaddle apart. It is also in the wide range of booklets that can be produced where it can make a real difference, removing the need to sub-contract complex finishing and therefore bringing in more revenue. In addition to simple booklets, the iSaddle can handle covers with pockets and flaps, as well as produce stepped format pages made from up to six different sized sheets within the booklet.

Despite being designed to support the varied needs brought by shorter runs, the iSaddle has also been engineered to suit longer runs. This is most apparent at the end of the system in the DKT-200 Trimmer which will finish a book with a three or five knife trim, allowing 2-up layouts of small format books and so doubling speed!
