Highlighting the W+D North America exhibit at Graph Expo '11 will be the North American introduction of W+D's new ConceptD, high speed inkjet envelope overprint press, and high performance, servo-driven W+D BB700 envelope inserting system, which can be seen in operation at booth 4017.
W+D's Graph Expo theme: "The envelope chain starts and ends with W+D" reflects the company's nearly 100 year commitment to the envelope and strategy of unlocking new productivity addressing the entire value chain, converting-printing-inserting-palletizing with high productivity technology and system solutions.
Introducing ConceptD Inkjet envelope overprint press to the American market
"ConceptD is the first high performance "industrial-grade" digital inkjet overprint press specifically optimized for the expanding personalized direct mail segment", said Andrew Schipke, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at W+D North America. ConceptD uses a piezo, drop-on-demand, inkjet print engine. It will print continuous, seamless, high quality 4-color images, on a #10 envelope at speeds up to 500 envelopes per minute or up to 30,000 variably imaged envelopes per hour. ConceptD's advanced feeder and handling technology handles a multitude of envelope sizes and paper substrate grades.
W+D BB700 high performance envelope inserting system: high intelligence and flexibility, unmatched reliability
Shown for the first time at Graph Expo, W+D will demonstrate a fully intelligent W+D BB700 envelope inserting system with an integrated front end print line, which provides the ability to process both inline print-on-demand and read and print applications. The W+D BB700 will also feature a Pick & Place feeder, which will attach a personalized credit card to an address carrier using hot melt. The system will verify each credit card and address carrier are matched, using data received from a 10 camera vision system. This W+D BB700 envelope inserting system will also feature the file based processing and reporting package.
The output of this fully intelligent W+D BB700 envelope inserting system will feature W+D's new OC4 on-edge conveyor system in combination with the PT4 postal traying system, with full format flexibility from #10`s to 9x12`s and even 10x13`s.
The W+D BB700 line of envelope inserting solutions can be configured to run a wide range of coated stock, booklets, and large format products up to 10"x13", as well as standard #10 envelopes at speeds up to 16,000 cycles per hour. The pack thickness on the W+D BB700 may go up to 0,6".
W+D envelope converting machines
W+D will also present its expanding line-up of cost effective envelope folding solutions for commercial printers, direct mailers and service bureaus that need to insource envelope production to meet the growing demand for short-run, fast turn-around, personalized print-on-demand direct mail segment. These small footprint solutions can make envelopes from printed rectangular sheet stock without pre-cutting convert web offset or digital pre-printed rolls using inexpensive, fast-changeover flexible die cutting technology. The machine's output ranges from 21,000 envelopes per hour to 72,000 envelopes per hour. Configurations are scalable to meet production and budget requirements.
