It creates photo books by gluing simplex pages back-to-back as well as inserting cardboard in between sheets. Its maximum speed is 2,000 A3 sheets/hr. With cardboard inserts, it prints 1,000 A3 pages/hr.
In addition, it accepts sheet thickness of 0.15mm–0.3mm as well as cardboard thickness of 0.35mm –1.00mm.
Touchscreen controls make the unit easy to operate. “After many discussions with international PSPs, we developed the Layflat LF2000 All-in Max to meet their requirements,” said Djawad Khorosh, CEO of Layflat.com.
