19 Apr 2011 - Duplo International has just announced a small but hugely useful improvement to its IDEAL guillotine range. It's entry-level A3 format guillotines have an increased table depth from 390mm to of 435mm. According to Angela Osborne, Digital Finishing and Office Products manager at Duplo International, the new format is a big plus, "it may not sound like much but for anyone using SRA3 paper sizes, it gives you the ability to cut down to A3 – something that was just not possible on the previous generation of these guillotines".Like all IDEAL guillotines the new IDEAL 4305, 4315 and 4350 come with the assurance of the 'Made in Germany' stamp. For occasional use the 4305 is the fully manual model. For those with a more demanding workload there is the electrically powered blade 4315 version and for print shops looking for an electric clamp and blade drive there is the 4350. All three models will cut a full ream of 70gsm paper and have a comprehensive range of safety features which IDEAL call their Safety Cutting System (SCS).
Osborne continues "Last year we introduced a digital display on the electric models to ensure accurate positioning of the backgauge to within 1/100th of a CM. Couple this with the LED cutting line, transparent safety guard and two-handed operation and you have the most accurate and safest selection of small format guillotines on the market".
To show off the new range IDEAL have produced a product demonstration video visible at www.ideal-uk.co.uk. Retail prices for the new machines start at £1,295 for the manual 4305 and rise to £3,515 for the fully electric 4350. IDEAL guillotines are available from dealers nationwide.
