2. General
Bleed Trimmer BT 30 is used together with Booklet Maker system Pro 30.
The main purpose of the Bleed Trimmer, further referred to as STR, is that it can be used for trimming the
bleed off the booklet. Booklets with a maximum up to 25 sheets 80g/m2can be trimmed from 2mm to 35mm
on each short edge of the booklet, to a minimum of 200 mm and a maximum of 320mm finished size.
Thereby it is also possible to trim asymmetrically. All actions concerning operating the STR and adjusting the
trim settings can be done by using the User Interface (UI) on the STR.
The example below shows what is possible with the Bleed Trimmer by using a different Center Offset
(symmetrical or asymmetrical):
