DC646

Slitter/Cutter/Creaser

Versatile, High-Performance All-In-One Finishing for Digital Color Documents

SMART CHANGE STARTS HERE.

Shown with optional PC and PC arm.

The DC-646 Slitter/Cutter/Creaser is Duplo’s versatile

digital color ﬁnisher providing printers the ability to create a

multitude of unique full-bleed applications with efﬁciency and

ﬂexibility. Performing up to eight slits, 30 cuts, and 20 creases

in a single pass, the DC-646 helps eliminates white borders

and prevent toner cracking on fold lines up to 30 sheets

per minute and also offers optional rotary tool and cross

perforating modules, both with strike perforating capabilities,

for increased versatility. With the DC-646, users can produce

24-up business cards on 12” x 18” or 36-up on 14” x 26” paper

sizes, slit-score greeting cards, micro-perforated coupons,

direct mailers with tear-away cards, and much more!

Easy Job Setup From a PC

The DC-646 Slitter/Cutter/Creaser is easy for anyone to

use and even the most inexperienced operator can ﬁnish a

job within minutes. The DC-646 comes equipped with the PC

Controller software, enabling users to operate the system

from a PC. The wizard makes it simple for operators to create

new jobs, make adjustments, and save virtually an unlimited

number of jobs on the hard drive for faster changeovers.

A job template library is included with the PC Controller which

can be used to produce common applications. To help ensure

print jobs are optimized for ﬁnishing on the DC-646, a sample

PDF is also included in the template library so margins

and gutters are set correctly. Operators can now also generate

PDF template ﬁles for jobs created on the PC Controller.

In addition, the DC-646 comes built-in with a CCD scanner,

enabling it to recall any job stored in memory simply by

reading the printed barcode and automatically setting up

the job. The scanner also reads registration marks and

compensates for the sheet-by-sheet image shift in both

directions, delivering accurately ﬁnished pieces.

VERSATILE, HIGH-PERFORMANCE ALL-IN-ONE

FINISHING FOR DIGITAL COLOR DOCUMENTS

• Helps eliminate white borders and prevents toner cracking

with up to eight slits, 30 cuts, and 20 creases in a single pass.

• Built-in Charge Coupled Device (CCD) scanner reads

barcodes to automatically recall any job stored in memory

as well as registration marks to correct image shifting.

• Compatible with the Integrated Folding System, the DC-646

IFS can slit, cut, crease, and fold all in one pass .

• Optional Rotary Tool and Cross Perforation modules

perform perforations, micro-perforations, scores,

slit-scores, and strike perforations.

• A job template library is included with the PC Controller

software for common applications.

• Helps achieve up to 70 percent setup time saving via

integration and automation with Fiery Impose in Fiery

Driven print environments.

Superior, High Capacity Feeding

The DC-646 Slitter/Cutter/Creaser features a 3.9” (100 mm)

feed capacity stacker and a unique top air-suction feeding

system to help maintain the consistency and productivity

throughout the operation. The high capacity stacker means

the system will run for a longer period of time without having

to reload while the air-suction system feeds from the top of

the stack to help reduce scufﬁng and marking on the sheets.

Additionally, the DC-646 comes equipped with side air, an air

knife and ultrasonic sensor for improved feed consistency.

The air knife, provides additional air ﬂow to the stack and

helps to reduce static on the sheets. The ultrasonic sensor

can detect when two or more sheets have been fed and

automatically sends rejected sheets into the reject tray.

Increased Versatility

Processing up to eight slits, 30 cuts, and 20 creases in a single

pass, the DC-646 ﬁnishes full-bleed documents up to 26.4”

(670 mm) in length. To further extend its versatility, optional

modules can be added to meet a wider array of customer

demands. The DC-646 offers three areas where operators can

mix and match any optional modules to produce a variety of

unique applications.

• Rotary Tool Module performs perforations, micro-

perforations, scores, slit-scores, and strike perforations

(across the length of the sheet.)

• Cross Perforating Module performs perforations,

micro-perforations, slit-scores, and strike perforations

(across the width of the sheet.)

• Add an extra Slitting Module with two more slitters

for a maximum of eight slits per sheet (six slits standard

+ two slits optional.)

• The DC-646 is also compatible with the Integrated Folding

System (IFS), creating an even more versatile ﬁnishing

solution that slits, cuts, creases, scores, perforates, slit-

scores, micro-perfs, and folds—all in one pass.

• Optional 48” Long Conveyor Stacker allows for higher

stacking capacity and unloading while machine is running.

With the DC-646, users can produce unique applications such as:

• 24-up business cards (without an additional

module required.)

• “L” perforated business card within a postcard.

• Slit-score, lay-ﬂat greeting cards.

• Direct mailers with “T” or “L” shape perforated coupons.

• Event tickets with multiple perforations.
