Chase adds new Horizon creaser folder
Family-owned full-service printing company Chase Print Group has added to
its portfolio of machines with the addition of a new Horizon CRF-362 creaser/folder with perforation unit, supplied by Currie Group.
Located in the western suburbs of Melbourne, the company offers digital, offset and large format printing services, in-house graphic design, short and long print runs, and point of sale.
With the high output of the company, it needed to use equipment that ensures the highest quality on every job, and according to Geoff Shadbolt, Chase Print managing director, when it came time to bring in a new
creaser/folder, it couldn’t pass up on the Horizon.
“We sat down during Christmas and tried to identify the weakness in our business and where we could save money. And this was one of those areas,” Shadbolt told Print21.
“A core part of our business is a trade hub for small and large print companies, so we needed a machine that can handle the varying types of work that are thrown at us.
“I spoke with multiple people in the print industry who owned similar machines, and the Horizon was the one everyone said was the best for what we were trying to do.”
The CRF-362 has been designed to handle the requirements of creasing and folding digital colour

output across a wide range of light and heavy-weight stock, coated or uncoated.
Creasing and folding can
be done in one pass for easy
and accurate processing of a variety of applications, such
as restaurant menus, greeting cards, book covers and marketing collateral, which Chase Print says fits perfectly with its needs.
The CRF-362 comes configured with seven selectable fold patterns and six selectable cover creasing patterns for perfect binding, including spine, hinge and flap creasing.
Capable of up to 10 crease lines on a sheet, the system uses an impact scoring
technology that eliminates or minimises cracking of the stock or printed image. The CRF-362 can also handle perforations with the optional PRF-36 perforation unit.
In addition, setup and changeovers – including fold pattern, creasing number and up/ down crease selection – can be easily achieved through the high- resolution colour touchscreen, which is designed for simple and intuitive operation.
“We do a lot of NCR books, so we do a lot of wraparounds and
a fair bit of scoring, as well as looking after all the folding work that we do,” explains Shadbolt. “It’s been great so far.” 21
