The adoption of B2+ digital presses continues to grow rapidly. These platforms bring exceptional versatility, enabling printers to produce everything from oversized posters to complex multi-up postcard layouts on a single sheet.
Yet, in many production environments, these large-format sheets are still routed to traditional guillotine cutters. The result is a growing “work-in-progress” (WIP) backlog that clutters the shop floor, increases handling, and ultimately slows down the path from print to finished product.
The Tecnau Stack 1212 was developed to eliminate this bottleneck.
Instead of relying on a sequence of offline steps—vibrating tables, manual turning, multiple cutting operations—the Stack 1212 automates the entire conversion process in a single pass. Printed B2+ sheets enter the system and exit as neatly finished, production-ready stacks.
This shift from fragmented workflows to a streamlined, near-line process significantly reduces manual intervention, improves consistency, and accelerates turnaround times.
As direct mail and high-end marketing applications evolve, there is a clear move toward heavier, more tactile substrates—often reaching up to 350 gsm.
The Stack 1212 is engineered to handle these demanding materials with precision and reliability, offering:
By transitioning from offline guillotine cutting to an automated near-line workflow, printers can dramatically reduce touchpoints in production—an essential advantage in a market where labor costs and efficiency pressures continue to rise.
Fewer manual steps, less handling, and more predictable output translate into a smoother, more controlled operation.
And ultimately, a clearer path from Print to Profit.
