Slitter, Cutter, Creaser - non sign related

[Norman Clifton]

looking at a Graphic Whizard PT 8336SCC Slitter, Cutter, Creaser for digital post print bindery
Was wondering if anyone has a GW or a sliitter/cut/creaser and is it worthwhile - we have a programmable cutter but this looks more efficient
just asking

Since this is basic a sign and wide format printing forum I am not sure you would find it very useful for anything related to signs, labels etc. One the other hand we have a digital press and a Slitter, Cutter, Creaser comes in very useful for a number of things. It is most useful for creasing or scoring (providing you have the scoring module) when doing folded cards and cover weight book covers. Also is pretty handy for cutting business cards and postcards. More efficient if you can walk away and do something else but it is not faster than cutting with paper cutter. We have the Duplo DC-645.

Here's a relevant thread on the graph wizard product. I have a Duplo 646 that is ok, but needs constant tweaking. Next slitter/cutter/creaser will be Horizon.

Standalone Creaser or Creaser/Slitter/Cutter

Our standalone creaser (Morgana Autocreaser) needs a new motherboard and given it's age I really think it's best to retire it. I can get an used newer Morgana Autocreaser for decent money but I'm wondering would I be able to just get a Creaser/Slitter/Cutter (SCC) instead for a few k more...

I have a Graphic Whizard Creasemaster and it is great. I have bought it in 2013 and it has performed flawlessly since. The Duplo units are fantastic but the cost is much more. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Graphic Whizard products.

we also have a duplo here... I think the 646, but I'm not in that building much so I've forgotten. It's a workhorse though iirc it's a bit more pricey than the graphic whizzard.
