RSP Offset Rules

RSP Offset Rules

The classic method for perforating, diecutting and creasing in offset printing

Fixed to the impression cylinder and working with the protective blanket. Use our CITO RSP processing lines also for short runs.

We have replaced our offset rules with the higher quality RSP processing rules. Take advantage of better rule quality and the resulting cutting result.

Note:
The values mentioned above are a rough guide for standard materials and are not binding.
The following items have an imporant infl uence on the correct perfo rule:

  • weight of the material to be printed
  • direction
  • coated paper
  • uncoated paper
  • form of perforation

For special requirements a test perforation with all variations should be made on a print sheet with the respective material to be printed.

RSP Creasing Rules

Creasing rule specially matched to the use of RSP components with different heights. The R1 creasing rule is used for only creasing, because it is the same height as a cutting or perforation rule.

However, in the case of a multiple use with creasing and/or cutting or perforating, the R2 creasing rule has to be used because this has a lower overall height.
