What is the Quad-Creaser?
The Quad Creaser replaces your OEM scoring mechanism to produce Letterpress quality creasing to the spine & hinge area of your book covers. This patented application uses specially formulated rubber & nylon creasing ribs that gently stretch the fibres in the book covers to produce flawless results.
Your existing supplied OEM steel scoring modules are abrasive and create shallow indentations in the two spine & (two) hinge areas often resulting in the flaking problem. The problem is compounded by the opening and closing of the front cover, adding more stress to the hinge.
Why the Quad Creaser?
OEM Scoring Problems
- • Steel scoring modules are abrasive
- • Create shallow indentations only
- • Flaking at spine and hinge areas
- • Worse with UV/laminated stocks
- • Requires offline cover creasing
Cover Opening Issues
- • Stress from cover opening/closing
- • Print and coating flakes away
- • Poor glue contact at hinge
- • Cover flexibility problems
- • Grain direction complications
Industry Reality: The three times deeper crease applications help to prevent the print, coating and laminate from flaking away, regardless of grain direction. The Quad Creaser enables professional letterpress quality results on all cover types.
