Finishing
There are two types of finishing: the finishing that the DocuColor 2060/2045 can
do and the preparation for finishing other than what the DocuColor 2060/2045
can perform.
The finishing options for the DocuColor 2060/2045 are the Offset Catch Tray
(OCT), which offsets sets for easy separation, or the High Capacity Stacker (HCS),
which collates and offsets stacks received from the press.
To prepare output for finishing other than what the DocuColor 2060/2045 can
perform, you must first understand the various folding techniques, binding
methods, and finishing touches available. You must also have software such as
DK&A, Ultimate Technographics, Scenicsoft, Press Wise, etc. to enable you to
correctly prepare the document for printing.
Folding Techniques
Parallel Fold
A parallel fold means that the paper is folded parallel to either the long edge or
short edge of the paper.
Right Angle Fold
The Right Angle Fold is a fold that falls at a right angle to the previous fold. A
right edge fold takes the parallel fold one step further.
Accordion Fold
An Accordion fold is two or more parallel folds in opposite directions.
Gate Fold
Gate Folds create a pair of foldouts that can be imaged upon. They are especially
useful for brochures and book covers.
