Marke: Graphic Whizard Creasing – Grooving – Perforating – Slitting – Cutting Creasing of finished prints before folding is becoming increasingly important Particularly in the case of digital prints prior proper creasing is indispensable during folding to prevent the ink and paper from breaking at the fold edge The CreaseMaster works according to the traditional technique with crease/groove bars which compress the paper at the fold edge by means of adjustable pressure and thus prevent the paper from breaking during folding Lightning-fast setup via TouchScreen and the option of automatically applying up to 10 grooves per sheet with 2 tool bars – simultaneously from above and/or below and with narrow or wide groove as required The minimum distance from groove to groove is 1 mm One of the two grooving bars can be exchanged for a bar with perforation so that sheets can be grooved and perforated simultaneously in one operation Recurring jobs are stored and retrieved in seconds At the same time and independently of the beam creasing can be used with rotating tool wheels at the paper inlet additional operations can be performed: Creasing perforating slitting The scope of delivery includes a pressure-vacuum pump and a tool holder with 2 tools Technical data Format min. 30 x 127 mm Format max. 457 x 960 mm Capacity/h max. 4,200 sheets (DIN A4 landscape) Paper weight 45 – 500 g/sqm
About this machine
The Graphic Whizard Creasemaster P is a folding machine — sometimes referred to as a paper folder or sheet folder — designed to crease, groove, perforate, slit, and cut printed sheets before they are folded. Graphic Whizard is a well-established manufacturer of finishing equipment serving the commercial print, digital print, and bindery industries, with a particular focus on creasing and folding solutions for short-run and on-demand production environments.
Creasing prior to folding has become especially critical in digital printing, where toner-based inks and coated substrates are prone to cracking or flaking at the fold edge if the paper fibres are not properly compressed beforehand. This machine addresses that need by working on the traditional crease-and-groove principle: adjustable-pressure tool bars compress the paper at the intended fold line, forming a controlled channel that allows the sheet to fold cleanly without breaking the ink or substrate surface.
The machine supports up to ten grooves per sheet in a single pass, applied via two tool bars that can work simultaneously from above, below, or both, and with either narrow or wide groove profiles depending on the job. The minimum spacing between adjacent grooves is 1 mm. One of the two grooving bars can be swapped for a perforating bar, enabling creasing and perforation to be carried out in the same operation. Independently of the bar-based creasing, rotating tool wheels at the paper inlet can perform additional inline operations — creasing, perforating, and slitting — at the same time, making it possible to combine several finishing processes in a single pass through the machine.
Setup is handled via a touchscreen interface, and recurring job parameters can be stored and recalled in seconds, reducing changeover time between repeat runs. The scope of delivery includes a pressure-vacuum pump and a tool holder fitted with two tools.
Technically, the machine accepts sheet sizes from 30 × 127 mm up to 457 × 960 mm and handles paper weights ranging from 45 to 500 g/m², covering everything from lightweight stock through to heavy board. Maximum throughput is rated at 4,200 sheets per hour, measured on DIN A4 landscape format. This used example was manufactured in 2008 and is currently located in Germany.
