About the Duplo DC616 Pro Slitter, Cutter & Creaser:

The Duplo DC616 PRO is the perfect option for the short-run on-demand digital printer. This model has the ability to process up to 6 slits, 25 cuts and 20 creases in a single pass. This means it can deliver full-bleed applications at the press of a button. It can also process up to 10 sheets per minute without white borders and toner cracking for a clean finish. Bring your print finishing in-house with the Duplo DC616 Pro!

The versatility of the DC616 Pro makes it ideal for finishing full bleed applications in a single pass. Its rotary slitters, guillotine cutter and depth-adjustable creaser provides the versatility of multiple machines without the costly, manual setup and production times. Margins trimmed horizontally by the slitter and vertically by the cutter are automatically deposited into the large waste bin. Only the finished pieces are delivered to the exit tray.

The creaser utilises male and female matrix channels to create up to 20 creases across the sheet, enabling documents to be folded with ease. Creasing performance is optimised via the adjustable 3-step crease depth for various paper types and weights. The card stacker which is ideal for business cards and postcards keeps smaller finished applications neatly stacked and organised.

Our Refurbishment Program:

Afterprint offers a dedicated refurbishment programme designed to extend the life and value of pre-owned machines while maintaining high performance standards. Firstly, previously used equipment is carefully inspected, restored, and tested by experienced engineers to ensure it meets strict operational and quality criteria.

Secondly, each machine undergoes a thorough assessment process, where worn or outdated components are replaced, critical systems are serviced, and overall performance is optimised. Therefore, every refurbished unit delivers reliable, efficient operation comparable to newer equipment.

In addition, the programme provides a cost-effective alternative to purchasing new machinery. Simultaneously, Afterprint supports sustainability by reducing waste and maximising the use of existing resources. Consequently, customers benefit from dependable, fully serviced machines that are ready for immediate use, backed by service support for added peace of mind. As a result, businesses can confidently invest in pre-owned equipment without compromising on performance.

About the Used Duplo DC616 Pro:

This Duplo DC616 Pro has just arrived in stock. Notably, originally installed in 2017 with a very low total count of just 79,376 sheets since new, this machine is in immaculate condition having been in storage for the past 5 years. Our engineers have put the machine through our standard refurbishment programme, checking and testing it to ensure it meets our quality standards. The DC616 Pro is in perfect working condition with all rollers, slitters and blades in excellent condition ready for use by its new owner.

The DC616 Pro comes complete with the Perforation Assembly and two perforation blades. With this in mind, we can also upgrade the perforation unit to include tech-ni-folds rotary creasing tools if needed (extra charges would apply). This model also features the business card catch tray, various magnetic guides and the waste bin.

Demonstration available in our showroom in Cheshire, 10 Minutes from Junction 9 of M62 or Junction 21a of M6.

Comes with our Alliance Service Package & a 6 Month Parts Warranty.

Key Features:

  • PC Controller – the PC Controller’s software wizard makes it simple for operators to create new jobs, make adjustments, and save a virtually unlimited number of jobs to the PC’s enabling faster changeovers. Using the Window PC user interface, even inexperienced operators can program jobs with ease. Make quick adjustments, and save an unlimited number of jobs on the hard drive for instant format changes.
  • Extend the possibilities with multiple finishing options – optimise layout and productivity to create a wide range of high-value complex applications. This includes tear-off tickets or reply cards.
  • Perforation Module – manual setup with two tools for continuous perforations or creases in the direction of paper movement.
  • Rotary Crease Tool (Tech-ni-fold) – optional equipment that fits onto the Perforator Shafts and enables high quality rotary creasing using Tech-ni-folds patented crease technology. Ideal for tall A3 menu’s or multiple up greeting cards that require creasing down the length of the sheet. Ask for pricing.
  • Automatic Barcode and Registration Mark Scanner – using the built-in CCD to read a printed barcode, the DC616 will recall the job from memory and automatically setup, reducing changeover time and errors. The CCD’s second feature complements the automation by reading a printed mark and compensating for any horizontal or vertical movement in the image. Ensuring precision finishing every time.
