Choose the Correct Quick Release Blade Set (optional)
This machine is supplied with a single standard crease blade set. Several optional blade
sets are available. Refer to the table below to see which type of blade set is most suitable
for your job.
Sheet Thickness
≥ 0.25 mm
(≥ 0.010")
≤ 0.25 mm
(≤ 0.010")
0.09 mm - 0.2 mm
(0.0035" - 0.008")
The Standard blade set is designed to give a good crease on thick paper and thin card.
To do this, it makes a wide crease. A wide crease is necessary because it gives sufficient
material at the spine of the fold.
The Narrow blade set is designed to give a good crease on medium and thin paper. To do
this it makes a narrower crease than the Standard blade set does. A narrower crease is
necessary because if there is too much material at the spine of the fold, the fold might not
be accurate or square.
An Extra Narrow blade set is also available for purchase. The Extra Narrow blade set is
designed to make a very narrow crease. One should use an extra narrow blade set if fold-
ing very thin paper (paper thickness close to the minimum specification for this machine).
Always make sure you have the correct blade set installed before starting a job. When
running into creasing or folding problems, try a different blade set. This can help solve the
problem, even if it is not the usual blade set that is recommended.
Additionally, the crease blade set may be replaced with an optional perforation blade set.
