3. All Rollem print finishing systems are designed
so you can process each sheet in a job
individually in a single pass.
Rollem systems can be configured as inline,
nearline or offline. Run offline, with one of
Rollem’s premium feeders or go for inline, and
you could run each print job directly from your
printer in one non-stop pass to finishing and
trim
guillotine
slit
semi-slit
perforate
micro-perforate
die punch
number
collate
- in short, print and finish any combination
of these processes with one operator, one
pass, from plain paper to finished job without
touching it once!
So the days of finishing jobs batch by batch on
separate machines – with separate operators
for each process – will be history.
With a Rollem finishing system you
can print, finish and ship a job in a
single operation.
An introduction to
Today’s customers demand 24-hour turnaround

building blocks of our capability and adapting
them to create a print finishing system that
completes each stage and produces a finished
product ready for binding or packing. Following
manufacture of the system, as part of our
complete service, we will then install the system
working with your engineers and operators,
providing training in both operation and basic
maintenance. To keep your Rollem machine

About Us
“ “Only Rollem could create
a ‘one-off’ machine that
met all our needs!
We call it‘web-to-print-to-delivery’.
4. Photobooks, calendars,
and diaries
“ “Just one Rollem PhotoSlit does
the work of 4 guillotines, with
one operator, and has given us
back our workflow.
The market for photobooks has exploded in the last couple of years, and customer demand is high
for perfectly finished, great value products.
But the finishing process can be far from straightforward, with orders coming in for a range of
sizes and differing page quantities. One way to see the problem is to imagine photobook pages
printed 4-up on SRA3 sheets. One of the problems is how best to order the customers’pages onto
those sheets. Pre-press has to arrange the pages in the correct order, so that when the sheets
are guillotined into four, four stacks are produced, one for each customer. Not easy when each
customer will have different numbers of pages .
The workflow is hindered because the pre-press presents major difficulties:
• difficulty in getting the customers’pages into the correct order for the guillotine cutting, made
worse because each customer’s order may have different numbers of pages.
• difficulty in batching together photobooks of different sizes so that the guillotines have
reasonable stack sizes to be efficient.
The guillotines may present difficulties because:
• each guillotine needs a skilled operator, adding labour cost to the work
• after guillotining, the stacks of pages have to be sorted into individual books ready for binding
• pre-press may add in blank pages to balance the page numbers up, so these blank pages have
to be removed
• sometimes more than one guillotine is needed for each printer because of all the interruptions
to efficient work flow.
So what’s the solution? The Rollem PhotoSlit, of course,
featuring:
• web to print to delivery work flow
• accuracy
• cut quality
• reduced operator skills
• 3D raised printing effects cared for
• reliability and great turnaround times
5. PhotoSlitIDEAL FOR QUALITY FINISHING OF PHOTOBOOKS
Tap into the booming market for photobooks with the
revolutionary Rollem PhotoSlit. PhotoSlit combines high
cut quality and productivity with fast job changeover and
minimum maintenance. Developed in response to market

Precision cutting
PhotoSlit’s two-dimensional bleed cutting facility provides
amazingly accurate and narrow bleed cutting. With a gutter
size as small as 1.6mm, PhotoSlit significantly reduces waste
and produces more pages per printed sheet than any other

With our Rollem machine,
we now get 25 business

Before it was just 20!
Nothing matches the performance and longevity of a Rollem slitting blade. Our latest bevel
edge‘FineCut’blade design delivers an incomparable finish.
What’s more, typically, you can run your machine 24/7 for over four months before even
thinking of a blade change - try that with a guillotine!
Rollem machines take sheet sizes and paper weights from A5 to SRA3 to B1and from 80 gsm
to well over 400gsm with lamination.
Collate? Separate?
There’s a Rollem machine for you!
One sheet, identical cards digitally printed
– need them collated? We recommend the
Rollem JetStream with AutoCollator.
One sheet, different cards offset printed –
need them separated? We recommend the
Rollem BCSii with Cassette Collection.
7. JetSlit MKII
Finishing smaller web-to-print jobs with bleed
The Rollem JetSlit has been developed to produce the most
exacting of web-to-print applications - the business card.
The smallest regularly ordered print job, requiring, at the
smallest size, the same productivity and the option to bleed
the image off the card with a double or gutter slit – even on
heavy stocks with double-sided matt-laminate – The JetSlit.
Fast throughput, unmatched productivity
With its pre-programmed settings, jobs can be produced at
up to 8,000sph. Optional features include a pallet loading
full size deep pile feeder, the Rollem AutoLay, conveyors,
cassettes and an automatic collator. Finishes stock sizes
from 140 x 125mm to 712 x 762mm and stock weights from
100gsm to 700gsm.
Huge productivity from a single operator
JetSlit slits cards quickly and with minimal handling, with
just one operator.
Quality cutting
Again, we’ve raised the bar in cutting-blade
technology with our new JetSlit blades. Compared to
a conventional guillotine, JetSlit’s rotary blades give a
more precise edge, less waste and higher productivity,
eliminating marking or‘crushing’on thermographed or
embossed work. These blades cut all thicknesses with
ease.
Cut wastage
JetSlit’s standard 2mm gutter slit minimises waste by
producing business cards printed 25-to-view on an
SRA3 sheet. Compare this with the 20 cards achieved
by a guillotine’s extra gutter space.

conveyed into individual register guides. There, they are
slit in the second direction, and delivered into individual
streams. BCSii has perfect registration even while running
at extremely high production speeds.
Mark-free processing
There’s absolutely no marking from processing on a
Rollem. What’s more, you can apply special finishes such as
thermography, embossing or the latest 3D profiles with no
crushing. Laminates? No problem.
Just a single operator
BCSii allows you to use less machinery and fewer people.
You can take control of your finishing and squeeze
maximum added value from your printing.

edge blade design and you have a machine that is quite
simply second to none.
Minimal waste
Make-ready is fast and efficient on the BCSii – run just two
or three sheets to establish slitting accuracy and you’re

• accurately, with no worries about misalignment
• consistently 24/7, regardless of weight of stock.
Semi-slit and Slit
Our machines are so versatile and accurate, they remove
standard 6mm gutters in their stride and can go right down
to a staggeringly slight 1.6mm. Impossible on a guillotine!
Why is 1.6mm so important? Because it gives you more
images on a sheet – so you can get 25 business cards from
an SRA3 sheet instead of just 16. Less waste means lower
running costs, or you can choose to use smaller sheet sizes
which is also good for your pocket.
The playing card industry insists on Rollem finishing. Why?
Because a Rollem machine can effortlessly deliver the 0.001”
tolerances they demand. CD inlay producers are equally
loyal to our machines, as only a Rollem can trim to a 0.2mm
tolerance on large lightweight sheets.
With Rollem you can
• slit in combination with other processes such as
perforating and creasing, giving productivity and
quality in just one pass
• handle exceptionally curly, embossed or
thermographed sheets with no trouble because there’s
no stack to crush or misalign
• process each sheet accurately at high speed.
Trim
You can trim off waste edges to the tightest tolerances with
Rollem. Our machines are supremely accurate, processing
every sheet with identical precision. No surprise then,
that the playing card industry insists on Rollem finishing
because only a Rollem can meet the 0.001”tolerances
they demand. CD inlay producers are equally loyal, as
only a Rollem can trim to a 0.2mm tolerance on the large
lightweight sheets they use.
With Rollem print finishing machinery you can
• trim in combination with other processes such as
perforating and creasing, giving productivity and
quality in just one pass
• handle exceptionally curly, embossed or
thermographed sheets with no trouble because there’s
no stack to crush or misalign
• process each sheet accurately at high speed.
25. ChampionIDEAL FOR MULTI-PURPOSE FINISHING WHERE SPACE IS AT A PREMIUM
We understand that floor space is in high demand. That’s
why we designed the Champion to deliver all the features
you need in the smallest possible package. It perforates,
scores and slits with the highest speed and accuracy of
any machine of its kind. Equally impressive, it can handle
any type of stock, from 45gsm to 700 gsm e.g. a credit
card, printed offset or digitally – even open-end NCR sets
just glide through. The Champion is the perfect system for
smaller runs and operations that don’t need the highest
automation.
Fast set-up
You don’t need to be a press operator to get the best out
of a Champion – in minutes you’ll be performing up to
1050mm of perforation and score lines at speeds up to
18,000sph.
Limitless capabilities
Champion offers a host of production options – perforate/
micro-perforate/slit-perforate; trim/slit/gutter slit; and
score/crease – all in a single pass.
New twin-shaft option
Champion’s heavy-duty twin-shaft option is ideal for
scoring/creasing digital and heavyweight stocks. Two
tandem shafts operate in perfect registration, the first head
lightly scoring while the second follows with a deeper
score – reducing the chance of ink cracking, regardless of
coverage, grain direction or stock weight. Need to produce
pressure-sensitive labels? Simply order a Champion with
the semi-slitting (kiss-cutting) option.
Minimal waste
Because Champion can easily compensate for registration
and stock imperfections, you can salvage‘off-register’
sheets and avoid costly reprints.
Minimum maintenance, maximum profits
Less downtime means a huge increase in your ROI. All
Rollem machines are built to perform from Day One, and to
go on delivering that same dependability for years to come.
Features
• Advanced but easy to use, the finishing answer for
shorter runs
• Faster and more accurate than any machine of its
kind
• Unlimited capabilities: will perf, score or slit and
type of stock
All specifications are subject to change without prior notification.
26. Processes
“Rollem has made a real
difference to what we
can achieve!
“
Perforating
Having trouble tearing cleanly along a perforation
line? Odds on, it wasn’t produced on Rollem finishing
equipment!
Rollem perforators actually punch out the perforation,
leaving a rectangular hole in the paper - nothing could be
clearer or more satisfying to tear or rip along.
With Rollem you can
• choose from 13 standard styles of punch perforation
• order a custom perfing design for the rare occasions
when a standard blade doesn’t fit the bill
• perforate in combination with other processes such as
slitting and creasing, for productivity and quality in one
pass.
Micro perforating
When only the neatest and cleanest possible perforation
line will do, you need a Rollem micro-perforator. Our
winning combination of six different blade styles and three
separate perforating processes deliver first class results –
whatever the stock.
With Rollem print finishing equipment you can
• micro-perforate in combination with other processes
such as slitting and creasing, giving productivity and
quality in just one pass.
• achieve fantastic results on any suitable paper, card or
plastic stock.
• micro-perforate at speed, accurately and consistently
24/7.
27. Why buy Rollem? - Speed of Turnaround
‘WEB-TO-PRINT-TO-DELIVERY
‘I want it tomorrow, if not today!’
This level of customer demand, generated by web-to-
print, has set the industry talking. However the phrase
‘web-to-print’doesn’t take finishing into account.
And finishing is essential to a realistic business model
because if a supplier doesn’t factor-in foolproof
finishing, the speed of delivery is jeopardised.
That’s why, here at Rollem we look at the whole
process; from‘web-to-print-to-delivery’. Because our
job is to help you finish your print to an exceptionally
high quality in double-quick time – and get it
delivered as soon as it hits the floor.
TURNAROUND TIME? NEXT DAY OR SOONER!
1. Your customer uploads details and places a
greetings card or business card order online today.
2. The automated order goes straight to print.
3. You finish it on a Rollem machine in 20-30 minutes.
4. Now you can send it to your customer instantly!
With a Rollem machine you can meet the pressure to
deliver asap and gain a competitive edge. Our print
finishing machines boost productivity and build your
brand, delivering a return on investment from Day
One.
ONE MULTI-TASKING MACHINE + ZERO SEPARATE FINISHING PROCESSES = SOARING PRODUCTIVITY
28. Why buy Rollem? - Cut Costs
FLOOR-TO-FLOOR
‘Implementing a rollem solution has
reduced manning levels as much as 75%.’
Floor-to-floor time is a key consideration for any
successful print business. Save time and manpower
here and the benefits feed directly to your bottom
line. Since all our print finishing equipment - however
multi-functional - is single operator, your staff savings
add up from the day of installation.
Traditional finishing involves pallets of paper
sitting on the shop floor between lengthy finishing
processes. This means significant high-value stock
and inventory assets are tied-up unnecessarily.
With a Rollem machine each sheet of stock is swiftly
converted into an instant cash return. Just one more
reason why our machines pay for themselves so
quickly.
SINGLE OPERATOR + GENIUS MACHINE = SERIOUS SAVINGS
29. Why buy Rollem? - Improve Accuracy
ADJUST A JOB WHILE IT’S RUNNING
Printing and finishing is all about variables. We all
know that on a humid day paper stretches, so a centre
score can move up to 2mm on, for example, a greeting
card. Without a Rollem machine the whole job could
be run and wasted, losing you valuable time and
money. By contrast, with print finishing solutions like
Rollem Advantage and Revolution, a single operator
can correct the job in situ, adjusting after the first
sheet passes through. So you can build on your
reputation for accuracy while saving time and money.
PLUS, NO NEED FOR CUSTOM TOOLING
At the moment, do you...
1. Print your job
2. Order a form tool for perforating
3. Guillotine to size
4. Fit your form tool onto a separate perforating
machine
5. Perforate job?
Buy Rollem and the job of perfing shrinks overnight.
In fact, it may take you a while to adjust to all the extra
time you’ll have!
Now you’ll be able to...
1. Print your job.
2. Set the rotary perfing and slitting tools on your
Rollem machine (a matter of minutes).
3. Complete all your finishing processes in one go.
Left with time to spare? You could spend it re-setting
your Rollem for the next perfing job!
ON-THE-FLY ADJUSTMENT + PERFECT REGISTRATION = INDUSTRY-LEADING ACCURACY
32. Rollem - the story behind our name
Our company’s founder was called Joseph Mellor. In
1929 he set up a general engineering firm in Sheffield,
Yorkshire. With the innovative approach that was to
become a hallmark of his success, Mellor reversed
his surname and christened his new venture‘Rollem’.
The company went from strength to strength, soon
developing an international reputation as leading
print finishing equipment suppliers.
Global success
We draw on over 80 years’experience to create
innovative bespoke solutions for printers around the
world. We export 85% of our production, including
50% to the demanding US market.
Today Rollem is a byword for quality, productivity
and reliability in print finishing machines. Indeed
the Rollem name worldwide is so synonymous with
first class finishing that it’s widely used as a generic
name, (just like the Hoover brand). In the international
language of finishing the verb‘to Rollem’, as in
‘to Rollem a piece of print’means to finish a job
accurately, quickly and cost-effectively.
Print finishers’online equipment
Finishing digital printing is an increasingly large part
of our business, but whatever your print challenge we
can help you finish it. Playing cards, business cards,
trading cards, game cards, greetings cards, post cards,
mailers, photo products, leaflets, labels, calendars,
invoices and brochures - whatever print you’re looking
to finish, look to Rollem.
Productivity
Our industry-leading systems combine exceptional
productivity—slitting/trimming/perforating/creasing
up to 15,000 A4 sheets an hour—with ultimate
accuracy on stocks from lightweight paper to plastic.
Our speedy floor to floor solutions can reduce
manning levels up to 75%.
All Rollem solutions are floor to floor, processing
each sheet individually in a single pass. Install a
Rollem solution and you can do away with the time-
consuming process of finishing jobs batch by batch
on separate machines with separate operators.
When a job arrives you can run and ship it in a single
operation, efficiently converting sheets into deliveries
and invoices into cash. A Rollem solution not only
speeds turnaround and enhances productivity, it also
delivers instant staffing savings.
The widest range of print finishing operations
From scoring, perforating, mircroperforating, creasing,
slitting, trimming, guillotining, semi-slitting, collating,
die cutting, rotary die cutting, punching, die punching
and numbering.
The finest tolerances
Rollem machines regularly surpass the +/- .001”Las
Vegas casinos demand on playing card decks and the
+/- 0.2mm essential for CD inlays. Our reputation for
accuracy is recognised too by the security printing
sector.
Higher throughput and accuracy
Many Rollem solutions incorporate rotary-wheel
technology to deliver higher throughput and accuracy
than platen or fixed-knife machines. Our Research
and Development department has even developed
a rotary solution to slitting, perforating or scoring
sheets up to 150cm.
Unparalleled flexibility
Our machines are so flexible, you can set up a job in
minutes. Set up’s so fast because slitting, creasing and
perforating tools on Rollem machines can be re-used,
so you don’t have to create a new fixture for each job.
Equally important, you can adjust individual tools - to
fractions of a millimetre - in an instant. So you can
move a perforation line in next to no time.
