INTRODUCTION
The Quantum P70iX is designed to meet the unique requirements of the digital print
marketplace. It is designed to support all commonly required punching patterns, includ-
ing three-hole, comb, VeloBind, Twin-Loop wire, and Color Coil. Custom die patterns are
also available. This new system is designed to deliver the quick changeover require-
ments of the short-run digital printer.
Virtually all set-ups are quickly and easily accomplished from the digital print display
panel, overcoming a major time-consuming aspect of traditional production punches.
Die changes can be accomplished in a short time without tools. The system is pre-pro-
grammed with all common paper sizes, and can store 20 custom jobs.
The P70iX is designed to handle a wide range of media. It can handle sheet sizes from
5 ?” x 5 ?” to 9” x 12”, including mixed paper-weights and cover stocks. Another key fea-
ture is the system’s ability to process intermixed index tabs without any special adjust-
ments.
The P70iX incorporates GBC’s new “stack processing” technology, which is designed to
reduce operator labor cost. This new architecture allows the system to process a 14”
stack (3,500 sheets 20# bond) without operator attendance. The P70iX offers a maxi-
mum throughput speed of 60,000 sheets per hour.
The Quantum P70iX is GBC’s revolutionary new, near-line, high-speed Digital
Production Punch. It sets up in minutes and keeps up, side-by-side, with banks of
today’s fastest digital print engines.
