Formax FD346 Air-Feed Paper Folder: Full Demo
Product Details
The Formax FD346 is a programmable air-feed paper folder built for print shops handling mixed daily folding work — touchscreen control, programmable fold presets, and air-suction feed for digital print substrate. This video walks through the FD346 in production use.
What this video shows: Digital-printed sheets loading into the FD346's air-feed magazine, the touchscreen interface presenting programmed fold presets, and the folder running mixed jobs back-to-back with quick changeovers between fold types. Fold accuracy and air-feed reliability on coated and toner-printed stock.
Who buys the FD346: Production print shops running mixed daily folding work. In-house finishing departments handling varied content from invoices through brochures. Mail operations folding statement and notice content with multiple fold geometries. Operations whose job mix benefits from quick programmable changeover.
Why air-feed plus touchscreen programmability: Air-feed handles digital print stock reliably; touchscreen programmability lets operators switch between fold geometries without manual setup each time. For mixed-work print shops, this combination is the right operational fit.
Key specs: Air-feed programmable paper folder | Fold types: standard mail folds plus programmable variants | Substrate: digital print stock, coated and uncoated | Throughput: production-tier sheets per hour | Touchscreen control with fold presets
Frequently asked
How many fold presets can the FD346 store?
Multiple presets are supported in the touchscreen — enough to cover typical mixed-shop job mix. Specific preset count is in the spec sheet; confirm with a Mailtech specialist when scoping.
How does the FD346 compare to the FD38X?
Both are mid-to-production tier FD folders. The FD38X may step up throughput and specific feature set; the FD346 is the workhorse air-feed programmable folder for mixed shops.
Can the FD346 retrofit air-feed onto a friction-feed line?
The FD346 is a standalone air-feed folder — it doesn't retrofit air-feed onto a separate friction folder. For air-feed capability, the FD346 replaces the friction folder.
