The Metal Scoring Crisis on Single Sheets
OEM Metal Scoring Destroys Modern Stocks
- • Abrasive V-shaped compression cracks coatings
- • 0.25mm shallow impressions - inadequate for modern papers
- • Designed in 1850s - unchanged for 170+ years
- • Forces fibres together causing brittleness
- • Guaranteed failure on digital & coated stocks
Your Daily Production Reality
- • 15-20% waste from cracked folds
- • Speed reductions trying to minimize damage
- • Customer complaints about white crack lines
- • Reprints eating into profit margins
- • Turning away profitable coated stock work
The Science: Modern coated papers have a clay surface layer sitting on top of paper fibres. When metal scoring compresses this coating, it shatters like glass along the fold line. The harder you press, the worse it gets. You need a completely different approach - stretching fibres instead of crushing them.
Visual Proof: Metal vs Rubber Technology
Metal Scoring Damage
- • Visible white crack lines destroy appearance
- • Coating flakes off during handling
- • Unprofessional quality leads to rejection
- • Problem worsens with heavier stocks
Tri-Creaser Perfection
- • Flawless letterpress-quality creases
- • Coating remains perfectly intact
- • Professional finish customers expect
- • Works perfectly on all stock weights
Revolutionary Rubber Creasing Technology
The Science of Fibre Stretching vs Compression
The Tri-Creaser uses patented rubber technology to create a three-point channel system that gently stretches paper fibres into position rather than crushing them. This fundamental difference in approach is why Tri-Creaser succeeds where metal scoring fails - every single time.
Channel Creation
Female die creates a precise 0.6mm channel without any fibre compression
Gentle Stretching
Rubber male rib stretches fibres into channel - no crushing or damage
Natural Folding
Paper naturally folds along the created channel with zero resistance
Why Rubber Succeeds Where Metal Fails
- • 0.6mm deep channels vs metal's inadequate 0.25mm compression
- • Zero fibre damage - stretching preserves coating integrity
- • Works at full speed - no need to slow down for quality
- • Universal stock compatibility - 65gsm to 350gsm without adjustment

Tri-Creaser Advance: Digital Print Mastery Add-On
The Advance is our premium add-on module specifically engineered for companies processing high volumes of digital prints and sensitive stock materials. This advanced component transforms your Fast-Fit into the ultimate creasing system, conquering even the most challenging digital applications.
Important: The Advance is an enhancement to your Fast-Fit, not a replacement. Together they provide complete creasing capability for every possible job.
Advance Digital Features
- • Deep 0.8mm+ channel scoring capability
- • Dual-action: soft rubber + plastic ribs
- • Prevents inner flaking on digital stocks
- • Specialized underside scoring protection
- • Softer grade rubber for sensitive materials
Critical Digital Applications
- • Heavy toner coverage areas
- • UV coated digital prints
- • Laminated stocks and covers
- • Cross-grain folding challenges
- • Premium digital presentation folders
Why Digital Prints Need Extra Care
Digital toner sits on top of the paper surface rather than absorbing into it like offset ink. This creates a brittle layer that's even more prone to cracking than traditional coated stocks. The Advance module's deeper channels and softer rubber compounds specifically address these digital print challenges, ensuring perfect results even on the most difficult substrates.
